There's always something left inside him
I've really nothing much to lose
It seems so sentimental
Why should I care?

Somewhere there's a sound of distant living
Locked up in high society
It seems so artificial
Why should I care?

Oh-ho-ho
Life can be cruel
Life in Tokyo
Oh-ho-ho
Life can be cruel
Life in Tokyo

Another vehicle heads for sunset
No other providence will do
They're only buildings and houses
Why should I care

Oh-ho-ho
Life can be cruel
Life in Tokyo
Oh-ho-ho
Life can be cruel
Life in Tokyo
