Story Behind The Song
Wrote this macabre dancy throg while living on my own in Tokyo, Japan. It's a collection of Zen-mental photogaphs with Roppongi late-night Restlessness... BAM- BOP ! Dozo arigato gazimas. Put some Zoom in the Room ! Ciao Ultra Man...
Song Description
Misty elektro rock number about an excursion solo style deep within the freaky scenes that ensnare you in the city of giant squid and apes, or at least one King. Move, damn it !

Lyrics
" TOKYO TANGO " Spook Mix d?clare
Verse 1
SHADOWS CRAWL THROUGH SUBWAY WALLS
IN SUSHI BARS AND PACHINKO HALLS
CAME EQUIPPED FOR FUN AND PLAY
YOU DON?T HAVE TO TIP BUT BOY YOU PAY
THE NIGHT RAN DEEP WHEN YOU MISSED THAT TRAIN
AFTER THIS TRIP YA' WASN?T THE SAME
FELL INTO A FORBIDDEN ZONES
SECRET TEMPLE NO INTERNET OR TELEPHONE
Verse 2
DOWN THE STAIR A CEREMONY ?TILL DAWN
IT?S A CINCH THE PINK LIGHT?S ON
YAKUZA CARS ARE JUST OUT BACK
ALL PULL UP IN A BLACK CAT CADILLAC
FEELS LIKE JET-LAG THIS INTREPID TRANCE
GET TO GRIPS WITH A STRANGE NEW KIND OF STREET DANCE
KISS LIPSTICK FLAVOURS CHERRY GRAPE OR MANGO
DO ANY DANCE BUT NOT THE TOKYO TANGO
CHORUS
STEP TO THE BEAT, INVENT YOUR OWN WAY
CAN?T DANCE, GOT TWO LEFT FEET
WHAT?S THE DIFFERENCE LET YOUR HAIR DOWN, IT?S TIME TO PLAY
THEY DANCE THE TOKYO, TOKYO TANGO, OH NO-NO NOH NO
THEY DANCE THE TOKYO, TOKYO TANGO, OH NO-NO NOH NO
