Jon James: Music

New King of Japan

Gather round
If you’re lookin’ for a ride
To the new downtown
Future sound
Hear the neon buzzin’ by
Trippin’, drunk, and high
Tokyo city

Visions of sugarplums
And cherry blossoms bloom
Feels like I’m walkin’ on the moon

Help me if you can
I’ve been drinkin’ with the band
I’m the new king of Japan
Boys, we’re livin’

Gather round
Revolutionary sound
Turn the lights up high
Talk is cheap
But with a little sleight of hand
It’s a freak show,
Sneak-a-peek show,
Poster children of the week show
