girl in tokyo [終わり]

I get excited, so excited to tell you

I only remember what this place meant to us after it's too late 

This suburban train station on the way to Akihabara looks so strange and old

I'm still in Tokyo, I'm still here, right?

I hear the train carriage scream and wail as it rolls into the station

At the old retro game store I almost cry

That's a copy of so and so....

Staring at me right in the face

Oh, that's a rare copy of so and so that I'll never find anywhere else at this price.

Staring at me right in the face

Oh, that's a copy of Shenmue for the Dreamcast. For 1020 yen.

Woah, girls' eyes are so wide and shiny, aren't they?

My eyelids hang low in total defiance

Even as I grin and giggle my eyes sneer

As if I felt like a mockery of girls enough 

As if I feel like I don't belong here enough

But they compliment my hair and chat about life

It's your hair again in the crowd

But I just blink and walk by this time 

Haah.... the rails seem so especially easy to jump under tonight

But I want to go home

I'm gonna go home

I'm gonna get to be with you again

It's a Wednesday night in Shinjuku, it's a Wednesday night in Akihabara, it's a Wednesday night in Shibuya, it's a Wednesday night in Tokyo

And it's Thursday in Wellington

salarymen taking the train into Tokyo from Narita airport

and I come home

with my arms scratched up and bleeding
