Turn Around In Tokyo [The Babys featuring Ricky Phillips]


Turn Around In Tokyo
Written by Jonathan Cain
Lead Vocals by John Waite

Leavin' on the runway
To another world
Still stranded somewhere
In between the earth and sky
It's 3 AM
I'm in Japan
You're still on my mind
Your long-distance love is coming through alright
And I'm not lonely
Lost in the Orient
I'm dreamin' of
Turn around in Tokyo
Gotta send it back to you
Turn around in Tokyo
Well I feel like a stranger
In a modern land
Outside the sky light stands like a Buddha shrine
And on the east horizon there's complete design
It's the quiet hours of darkness before the light
The words don't come easy
Lost in the Orient
I miss you
Turn around in Tokyo
Gotta make it back to you
Turn around in Tokyo
I'm comin' home now
And I'm not lonely
Lost in the Orient
I'm dreamin'
Turn around in Tokyo
Gotta make it back to you
Turn around in Tokyo
I'm comin' home
Oh oh
I'm all turned around yeah
I'm all turned around
I'm all turned around yeah
I'm all turned around
Turn around in Tokyo
I said turn around in Tokyo
Tokyo Tokyo Tokyo Tokyo
Oh baby
I'm all turned around
Gotta make it back to you
I miss ya girl
Miss ya girl

Interpretation

When I have to travel, I miss you and can't wait to be home again. I'm headed to Japan, and even on the other side of the world in an exotic land, I think of you.
