Lyrics
Intro
Verse 1Struttin' down the Ginza in my go-go bootsNeon lights are callin', got that cherry blossom moodFrom the temples in Kyoto to the trains in old TokyoI'm dancin' through the paper doors, where did all this love go?Pre-ChorusSugar, hold my hand, don't let this feeling fadeWe're spinnin' like the seasons in this land of serenadeChorusI'm running 'round 日本, fallin' deeper every dayOsaka lights are shinin', Sapporo's where we playFrom Hiroshima mornings to the bays of 函館Baby, love's the only map, and you're my sweet escapeOh, runnin' 'round 日本... with youVerse 2Sippin' tea in gardens where the geishas softly swayRidin' bullet trains, boy, you take my breath awayWe laugh under Mount Fuji, kiss in Fukuoka rainEvery city's got a story, but you're my favorite refrainPre-ChorusDarlin', don't slow down, the world's our runway tonightTokyo hearts are beatin' to this 60s kind of lightChorusI'm running 'round 日本, fallin' deeper every dayOsaka lights are shinin', Sapporo's where we playFrom Hiroshima mornings to the bays of 函館Baby, love's the only map, and you're my sweet escapeOh, runnin' 'round 日本... with youBridgeSpoken, Nancy-style, a little breathyNow listen here, honey... I left my old life behindThese boots were made for walkin' straight into your armsOne ticket to forever on the Shinkansen line...Final Chorus – bigger, with backing vocalsI'm running 'round 日本, never gonna slow my strideHand in hand we're flyin', across this island rideFrom the snow in Hokkaido to the shores of old KyushuEvery mile I'm lovin' you, and baby, you love me tooRunnin' 'round 日本... just me and youOutro – fade with "ooh-oohs"Runnin' 'round 日本... (with you)Runnin' 'round 日本... (fallin' in love)
