[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
They were raining from the sky
Exploding in my heart
Is this a love in disguise
Or just a form of modern art?

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
From the skies you could almost hear them cry
"Tora! Tora! Tora!"
In the town, they were going down
"Tora! Tora! Tora!"

[Interlude]

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
I had a nightmare only yesterday
You played a skeleton
You took my love then died that day
I played an American

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
From the skies you could almost hear them cry
"Tora! Tora! Tora!"
In the town, they were going down
"Tora! Tora! Tora!"
[Interlude]

[Outro: Dave Gahan, (Vince Clarke)]
I played an American (I played an American)
I played an American (I played an American)
I played an American (I played an American)
I played an American (I played an American)
I played an American (An American)
I played an American (American)
I played an American
I played an American (An American)
