underground there's a brave new world 
it's always night in Japan 
cameras witness long slim legs 
it's always night in Japan 

as the old world melts 
we slide on rails 
moved into the light 

we are never denied 
we are never deprived 
the robots of night 

we're in the world of the rising sun 
still it's always night in Japan 
everything shines so bright 
the burning colours leaving you blind 

blinded by the neon disarray 
it's like a starship this land 
on display are the brands of today 
a beautiful castle of sand 

you don't have to sleep 
you don't have to breath 
in this high-tech mirage 
still you've got tatooed 
all over your back 
the signs of the past 

we're in the world of the rising sun 
still it's always night in Japan 
everything shines so bright 
the burning colours leaving you blind 
inside the cage of the dragonfire 
it’s always night in Japan 
follow the frame of light 
the burning colours leaving us blind
