paroles de chanson Foreign Prince of Tokyo - Alan Merrill

I was walking
Down the streets I used to know
I was talking to myself
Remembering all the emotional
Highs and lows

I'm soaking wet 'cos it's raining outside
But it doesn't matter
If I slip, then let's slide
If you don't believe me
It don't matter no more
See, I remember 20 years ago
I was the foreign prince of Tokyo
(Oooh that was so long ago)
Yeah that was so long ago

Yeah it's all changed now, this old city ain't the same
Seems so strange, so strange
I only recognize the place by name

All of those memories I kept in my mind
We go out dancing now
The years all unwind
I've been gone too long
But don't you ever ignore
When I tell you 20 years ago
I was the foreign prince of Tokyo
(Oooh that was so long ago)
Yeah that was so long ago
When Roppongi was mine babe!

(Spoken) I can remember walking down at night
Aoyama Dori, to go to my place, Mugen
Soaking wet 'cos it's raining outside
But it doesn't matter
If I slip I just get a taxi ride
If you don't believe me
It don't matter no more
'Cos I remember 20 years ago
I was the foreign prince of Tokyo
(Oooh that was so long ago)
Hey!
You ever been to one of those "love hotels"
In Sendagaya?
Yeah that's something they don't have
Any other place in the world
I been there lot of times, hahaha!
Oooh that was so long ago
