There's always something left inside here 
I've really nothing much to lose 
It seems so sentimental 
Why should I care? 

Somewhere there's a sound of distant living 
Welcome in high society 
It seems so artificial 
Why should I care? 

Oh ho ho 
Life can be cruel 
Life in Tokyo 
Oh ho ho 
Life can be cruel 
Life in Tokyo 

Another vehicle heads for sunset 
No other providence will do 
They're only buildings and houses 
Why should I care 

Oh ho ho 
Life can be cruel 
Life in Tokyo 
Oh ho ho 
Life can be cruel 
Life in Tokyo
