Every fly wants to die around half past nine On a windowsill In this old building Watching the sunset So do I, so do I, so do I, so do I But not quite yet, first show me Tokyo! I saw a band with two girls from Japan They hit their guitars hard and they sang Words I couldn't understand I want to meet a bear before I die I want to help a teenager say goodbye To a boyfriend she never even liked But whom she thought made her look more grown up I want to go to Tokyo Children used to run in these stairs heading for open air In-between boring lessons in math and geography I do too, I do too, I do too, I do too But I wish you'd say it's time to play I saw a band with two girls from Japan They hit their guitars hard and they sang Words I couldn't understand I want to meet a bear before I die I want to help a teenager say goodbye To a boyfriend she never even liked But whom she thought made her look more grown up I want to go to Tokyo
