Lyrics   status: confirmed

Tokyo eye
Tokyo crying somewhere
Seeking inside
Supermen sighing nowhere
Seven two nine
Luck is around the sun bear
Fur in the night
A Kansai woman goes out
Soak in the eye
Osaka crying for you
Ship in the light
Sing in the water sun dew
Ticket to die
Ticket to ride the junk star
Shielded in white
A Kansai girl in black dew

Tokyo eye
Tokyo crying somewhere
Seeking inside
Supermen sighing nowhere
Soaking in my eye
Soaking in my eye grey leaf
She dig to cry
She dig to cry love funny
Fur in the eye
A Kansai girl is kiss teen
Fun in the light
Crying away to sun bear

NOTES:

  • Performed solo by Thurston while opening for Free Kitten and Mosquito on a brief Japanese tour in early 1993.
  • Kim plays a toy beatbox thru the pick-ups of her bass. It provides the fake cymbal sounds in the verses and also the spastic beats during the instrumental sections.
