Above a bar called tokyo
We watched the post-work traffic flow
Selective of the drinks that we buy
CWe used to drDmink the river bed drBby 
You and i
CWe act as if Dmthe people we were are goBbne
But echoes remain
CWe act as if the wDmay that we were was wrBbong
As if people changed
    ...that intro-stuff again...
Above the hotel Kyoto
There is a neon scarlet glow
Dancing on the slippery tiles
CWe bathe until the Dmwater runs dryBb  
You and I 
CWe act as if the pDmeople we were are gBbone
But echoes remCainDm  
EchoBbes remain
CNow that you?re Fgone
I seBbe you so clearly 
CYou were drinking Fmartinis diffBbering to me
Now that you?re Cgone
do you Ffeel anythBbing?
