Track Insight / Lyrics
Rain drizzles lines down Tokyo streets,
Neon puddles glowing all wet,
Cab here, cab there, I know the beat,
Midnight miles, fares to greet.
Weathered leather, polished keen,
My shoes tell, all my dreams unseen,
From Ginza to Shibuya to Shinjuku I've been,
Every alleyway, a story unspun.
Gonna shimmy, shimmy, in the rain,
Feet moving, I'll get away,
From heartache, loneliness, all in vain,
Just gotta let go, let the rhythm regain.
2 AM neon, neon night,
Raindrops diamonds, shining bright,
Kabukicho rumbles, a city alive,
Raindrops fall, I take flight.
Wisdom worn, youthful eyes, still free,
Learning curves, from nostalgia,
Each step forward, a memory never leaves,
Of Tokyo's secrets, hidden between.
Gonna shimmy, shimmy, in the rain,
Feet moving, I'll get away,
From heartache, loneliness, all in vain,
Just gotta let go, let the rhythm regain.
Slick alley, shadows play,
My brogue whispers, midnight way,
Rain on the pavement, mirrors the pain,
Life goes on, in this neon train.
Though my heart's heavy, I won't complain,
Got my wits, and a steady hand to gain,
In this city that never sleeps, I remain,
Tokyo's rhythm, is my heart's refrain.
Discard the weights, that hold you down,
In this city, everybody's wearing a crown,
So shimmy with me, in the Tokyo rain,
Feel the freedom, in this funky refrain.
Gonna shimmy, shimmy, in the rain,
Feet moving, I'll get away,
From heartache, loneliness, all in vain,
Just gotta let go, let the rhythm regain.
(Short outro dissolve)
