[Verse 1]
There's always something left inside here
I've really nothing much to lose
It seems so sentimental
Why should I care?

[Verse 2]
Somewhere there's a sound of distant living
Welcome in high society
It seems so artificial
Why should I care?

[Chorus]
Oh ho ho life can be cruel
Life in Tokyo
Oh ho ho, life can be cruel
Life in Tokyo

[Verse 3]
Another vehicle heads for sunset
No other providence will do
They're only buildings and houses
Why should I care?

[Chorus]
Oh ho ho life can be cruel
Life in Tokyo
Oh ho ho, life can be cruel
Life in Tokyo
