[English]

Tokyo Crazy Night

Got me falling deep

Love like illusion

To quench the thirst of loneliness

I poured the sparkling into a glass

Escaping from this reality

Washing it all away

Tokyo Crazy Night

Caught your eye through the glass

I drank down all my plans for tomorrow

My heart and body, both are empty

Ah until we get drowned

Frustrated with the push and pull, like camouflage

Even if it’s a fake, nicely done

Wanna know, wanna touch, can't get enough, met with sabotage

Wanna be with you tonight, all night long

Let's fly away like this, two of us we glide

Slipping out from the dazzling forest of neon, whereʼs the love?

This moment, let it unfold

Tokyo Crazy Night

No words are needed in our story

Jumping into a taxi

There is nothing that could hold us

Everything is going fancy and you know it

Tokyo Crazy Night

Caught your eye through the glass

Can’t come up with the next thing to say 'cos

You are elusive like a butterfly

Beauty that I canʼt deny

Ah ah, I’m looking away

Frustrated with the push and pull, like camouflage

Before I know it, my work is done

Wanna know, wanna touch, can't get enough, met with sabotage

This moment, let it unfold

Dreams always fade away fleetingly

I know it well, but

(This love so blind)

Never gonna let anyone take your heart, I want you so deep

Intoxicated with the buzz of this town

Our hearts and bodies are intertwined

Ah until we get drowned

Frustrated with the push and pull, like camouflage

Even if it’s a fake, nicely done

Wanna know, wanna touch, can't get enough, met with sabotage

Wanna be with you tonight, all night long

Let's fly away like this, two of us we glide

Slipping out from the dazzling forest of neon, whereʼs the love?

This moment, let it unfold

Tokyo Crazy Night
