Japan: The Comeback

They say the spirit moves in mysterious ways
Sometimes the way it moves looks plain berserk
But two things you should be slow to criticize
A man's choice of woman and his choice of synths

But one day I know:

End of the year I'm travelling
I will see Tokyo beckoning
End of the year I'm travelling
I will see Kyoto beckoning
