Shinjuku Heat
In the dim light we sit in silence
But your eyes give it all away
A scent of violence, aesthetics of cruelty
Poison lips, the dragons kiss
Soft and tender in the doorway
Illuminated skin
Pull me deeper, swallow me whole
In the heat seal our destiny
Mascara and bruises and Blue Moon Martinis
Now dance for me
On parade again
The way you move me
Wrapped around the chrome
You’re the new raw meat
Stare at the raging sea and close your eyes
Whispered threats and the promise of rain
Stare at the raging sea and pay the price
Waiting for the sunrise at Tokyo Bay
Conspiracy in a black car
The handshake seals the fate
A new tattoo, I remember
Fall asleep with a gun in my hand
Muzzle flash and for a moment
A stranger’s face through the tinted glass
I’m lost and tired, distant sirens
Point of no return
Crashing waves will wash away the hours
And the voice of treachery
The contract, the impact
The art of desire and complicity
On parade again
Glimpse of the needle
Sky turns liquid as we touch the floor
Stare at the raging sea and close your eyes
Whispered threats and the promise of rain
Stare at the raging sea and pay the price
Waiting for the sunrise at Tokyo Bay
Conspiracy in a black car
The handshake seals the fate
A new tattoo, I remember
Fall asleep with a gun in my hand
The morning after
Disaster
These crowded neon streets now empty
And the tide comes face to face with me
The core is infected
Your number disconnected
The pattern discontinued
We stand and fall in a world full of whores
