[Verse 1]
There's always something left inside here
I've really nothing much to lose
It seems so sentimental
Why should I care?

[Verse 2]
Somewhere there's a sound of distant living
Welcome in high society
It seems so artificial
Why should I care?

[Chorus]
Oh, ho, ho, life can be cruel
Life in Tokyo
Oh, ho, ho, life can be cruel
Life in Tokyo

[Verse 3]
Another vehicle heads for sunset
No other providence will do
They're only buildings and houses
Why should I care?

[Chorus]
Oh, ho, ho, life can be cruel
Life in Tokyo
Oh, ho, ho, life can be cruel
Life in Tokyo
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Oh, ho, ho, life can be cruel
Life in Tokyo
Oh, ho, ho, life can be cruel
Life in Tokyo
Oh, ho, ho, life can be cruel
Life in Tokyo
Oh, ho, ho, life can be cruel
