Big in Japan - Symphonic Version Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Winter's cityside
Crystal bits of snowflakes all around my head and in the wind
I had no illusions
That I'd ever find a glimpse of summer's heatwaves in your eyes

[Refrain]
You did what you did to me
Now it's history I see
Here's my comeback on the road again
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight
It's easy when you're big in Japan

[Chorus]
Ah, when you're big in Japan, tonight
Big in Japan, be tight
Big in Japan, ooh, the Eastern Sea's so blue
Big in Japan, alright
Pay, then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan
Ah, when you're big in Japan

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Neon on my naked skin
Passing silhouettes of strange illuminated mannequins
Shall I stay here at the zoo
Or should I go and change my point of view for other ugly scenes

[Refrain]
You did what you did to me
Now it's history I see
Things will happen while the can
I will wait here for my man tonight
It's easy when you're big in Japan

[Chorus]
Ah, when you're big In Japan, tonight
Big in Japan, be tight
Big in Japan, ooh, the Eastern Sea's so blue
Big in Japan, alright
Pay, then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan

[Chorus]
Ah, when you're big in Japan tonight
Big in Japan, be tight
Big in Japan, ooh, the Eastern Sea's so blue
Big in Japan, alright
Pay, then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan
Ah, when you're big in Japan

[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Ah, when you're big In Japan, tonight
Big in Japan, be tight
Big in Japan, ooh, the Eastern Sea's so blue
Big in Japan, alright
Pay, then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan

[Chorus]
Ah, when you're big in Japan tonight
Big in Japan, be tight
Big in Japan, ooh, the Eastern Sea's so blue
Big in Japan, alright
Pay, then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan
Ah, when you're big in Japan
