Lyrics and translation
Original
Yeah, I've been watching me fall for it seems like years, years, years.
Watching me grow small, I watch me disappear.
Slipping out my ordinary world, out my ordinary eyes.
Yeah, slipping out the ordinary me into someone else's life, life, life.
Into someone else's life.
There's a thin, white, cold new moon, and the snow's coming down.
And the neon bright Tokyo lights flickering through the crowd.
I've been drifting around for hours, I'm lost and
I'm tired.
When a whisper in my ear, insatiable breeze, why don't you follow me inside?
Yeah, the room is small, the room is bright.
Her hair is black, the bed is white.
And the night is always young.
Is always young.
Always young.
The night is always young.
Yeah,
I've been seeing stripped to the bone in the mirror on the wall.
Seeing her swallow whole like it's not me at all.
She holds out her hands, and I follow her down to my knees.
And the something inside, insatiable smiles, you will forget yourself in me.
Yeah, the room is small, the room is bright.
Her eyes are black, the bed is white.
And the night is-. . .
And the night is always young, and the night is never over and over and over and over and over.
And it's gone.
And it's gone.
Yeah, and it's gone.
Yeah, it's a blooming cold new day, and outside the snow is still coming down.
And in the blood red Tokyo bed, I watch me coming 'round.
She pulled him down for hours, deeper than I've ever been.
And as I fall in the mirror on the wall, I'm watching me scream.
I'm watching me scream! I'm watching me scream.
I'm watching me scream.
Yeah,
I've been watching me go for it must be years.
Watching me get slow, I watch me disappear.
And one day, yeah, I know
I won't come back at all.
But always over and over in his ordinary eyes, I'm watching me fall.
I'm watching me fall! I'm watching me fall.
I'm watching me fall
