Baton Rouge Tokyo Time
We cut a perfect diamond
Out of sync and vague
It bleeds from the heart, it's fallen apart
It's all a big mistake
So many words unspoken
Are lost into the fall
It's headed for dark of powder and spark
The final curtain call
Cut a perfect diamond
And then a perfect lie
You and me, we don't disagree
We're full tilt compromise
It isn't hard to make a blind man see
You're living on Tokyo time
Living on Tokyo time
Once we had the answers
Once we had the key
Then came the rain, the thundering strain
A ghost ship on the sea
I try to understand you
I don't know where it's lost
A haunting inside, a swallowing pride
A fairytale will cost
Once we had the answers
Now we have the lies
You and me, we don't disagree
We're full tilt compromise
It isn't hard to make a blind man see
You're living on Tokyo time
Living on Tokyo time
I've taken all I can
Ain't no beggar in a foreign land
And I've never had to hide
I'm never gonna meet you in Tokyo time
I thought we had a diamond
But all we have is ice
You and me, we don't disagree
We're full tilt compromise
It isn't hard to make a blind man see
You're living on Tokyo time
Living on Tokyo time
You and me, we don't disagree
We're full tilt compromise
It isn't hard to make a blind man see
You're living on Tokyo time
Living on Tokyo time
