We washed our souls in whiskey,
Drowned our tears away,
Passed another station,
Heading home to Tokyo bay.
Whispering winds betray me,
Lashing down in streams,
Tied me once and twice around,
And sowed me at the seams.

So raise your glass in silence,
All your debts repaid,
But ever on is the open road,
Ride ride today.

Now for home we're wandering,
Longing in the lanes,
Ever knowing all the while,
We'd wind up at the same,
City center calling,
Ever does it scream,
Tells me tales over other lives,
That I will never lead.

So raise your glass in silence,
All your debts repaid,
But ever on is the open road,
Ride ride today.

Where is home my darlings?
Is it where you lie?
Travel round this wide wide world,
To work until you die.
Ever in the limelight,
Understood by none,
Names will fade into the night,
Until the morning's come.

So raise your glass in silence,
All your debts repaid,
But ever on is the open road,
Ride ride today.
