Shibuya Girls Lyrics

January is always hanging on me
but summer's pulling at my sleeve
I'm counting down the sleeps til i can leave

We spent a day at your school, you taught me "genki desu ka"
How to fake your own death and Barack Obama
We drew robots in the staff room corner
There's photos of her from when she stole my camera

You blonde Shibuya girls are all front
and not all gaijins are mercenaries
Hachiko never sleeps you know
but the spirit on the faces is diversionary

I locked up your bike, you said it would be alright
but when i came back it wasn't where it was last night
really not the way to treat you well
when you saved me from a week of capsule hotels

We share photographs over katsudon
with the sake that Shizuyo brought along
I worry my old self won't recall these events
something the camera round my neck's been trying to prevent

You blonde Shibuya girls are all front
and not all gaijins are mercenaries
Hachiko never sleeps you know
but the spirit on the faces is diversionary

I take the map from the wall put my music on
bike through Shinjuku to a nabes song
I read this comic book from back to front
just me you and the cockroach i brought from hong kong

You blonde Shibuya girls are all front
and not all gaijins are mercenaries
Hachiko never sleeps you know
but the spirit on the faces is diversionary

We spent a day at your school, you taught me "genki desu ka"
How to fake your own death and Barack Obama
We drew robots in the staff room corner
There's photos of her from when she stole my camera
