BIG IN JAPAN

Winter's cityside
Crystal bits of snowflakes
All around my head and in the wind
I had no illusions
That I'd ever find a glimpse
Of summer's heatwaves in your eyes
You did what you did to me
Now it's history, I see
Here's my comeback on the road again
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight
It's easy when you're big in Japan

Aah when you're big in Japan - tonight
Big in Japan - be - tight...
Big in Japan... ooh the eastern sea's so blue
Big in Japan - all right,
Pay! - Then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan
Oh when you're big in Japan

Neon on my naked skin, passing silhouettes
Of strange illuminated mannequins
Shall I stay here at the zoo
Or should I go and change my point of view
For other ugly scenes
You did what you did to me
Now It's history, oh, you'll see
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight
It's easy when you're big in Japan

Aah when you're big in Japan - tonight
Big in Japan - be - tight...
Big in Japan... ooh the eastern sea's so blue
Big in Japan - all right, Pay!
Then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan

Little darling
On the factory floor
The sirens are wailing
They're calling like lovers
They always want more

Department 27
Deep down below
You are piecing together
The seeds of the world

Ashen roses
Growing darkness
Starving children
Someday you stand up and dance

Glittering sunlight
Keep on shining
And put them together
The seeds of the world

Blinding all the flowers of the world
Start bursting into millions of colours
Unfold all the flags of the nations
Kiss me again, let the battle start

Little darling
What have you done
Hearts are breaking
Life without ending, numberless men

Never relaxing
I have to see it all
Fire, desert, cold and arid
And all in a flash

Blinding all the flowers of the world
Start bursting into millions of colours
Unfold all the flags of the nations
Kiss me again, let the battle start
