Her heart is nearly breaking, the earth is nearly quaking The Tokyo taxi's braking, it's screaming to a halt And there's nothing to hold on to when gravity betrays you And every kiss enslaves you. She knows how hard her heart grows under the nuclear shadows She can't escape the feeling repeating in her head When after all the urges some kind of truth emerges We felt the deadly surges. Discovering Japan Discovering Japan
