Testo Tokyo Rose - Van Dyke Parks
Testo della canzone Tokyo Rose (Van Dyke Parks), tratta dall'album Tokyo Rose
In sight of the lights of Roppongi
The nightlife of Tokyo goes
And out on the street
With a beat from Tahiti
A neon moon lollipop glows
A woman in silken pajamas
Is seen on the screen of a door
She slips on a rice paper dress by Dior
Less the price of the ice on her clothes
The girl I call Tokyo Rose
Tokyo Rose is blue
Tokyo knows it's true
What the night says we might like to do
We're in Tokyo time
When that moon turns lime
And the sky is a lavender brew
She trips through a door for hot sake
Unzips as her hips hit the floor
Her pearls were strung in the harbor below
In a bar where I asked her for more
Down on the Cajun veranda
A Barbajian band in a stew
Was playing the Soca
When I re-awoke
We were back at her penthouse, us two
I spoke of my love for MacArthur
The man, not the park in L.A
"But you're so much older"
She covered her shoulder
And I heard her say with a sigh
"A soldier may never say die"
