Tokyo Nights
Krokus Lyrics

Last night when I was laying in my bed
The singer of the song is recounting a dream they had.

Had a dream of a flag in white & red
In the dream, the singer saw a flag that was predominantly white and red.

Swiss cross turned into the japan dot
In the dream, the Swiss cross on the flag turned into the dot typically associated with Japan.

A yellow girl appeared and made me hot
A woman with Asian ancestry appeared in the dream, and her appearance aroused the artist.

She took me to her place - a Geisha house
The woman took the artist to a Geisha house, which is a type of traditional Japanese entertainment venue.

There was tea rice-booze & ceremony
In the Geisha house, there was a variety of food and drinks available, as well as various traditional ceremonies.

I got undressed she had me washed
The woman helped the singer undress and had him cleaned.

I felt her body and I was lost
The artist became enamored with the woman's body and became lost in the moment.

Tokyo nights hot burning lights
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase 'Tokyo nights, hot burning lights,' which seems to be a metaphor for the dream the artist is having.

Tokyo nights you took my mind away
The chorus suggests that the dream of the hot Asian woman in Tokyo is consuming the artist's thoughts and attention.

Made me obsessed by loving fights
The singer is becoming obsessed with the idea of perhaps having a romantic encounter with the Geisha woman in the dream.

Soon I remembered I stayed in a dream
The artist realizes that they are still dreaming and not experiencing a real event.

And I could make a try to change the scene
The singer attempts to alter aspects of the dream or change locations within it.

The geisha girl was just too hot for me
The singer is struggling to control their desires for the woman in the dream.

I tried to wake up unsuccessfully
The singer tries to wake up from the dream but is unable to do so.

And even as the big alarm-clock rang
In the real world, the artist's alarm clock goes off.

Outside my window the first blackbird sang
In the real world, the sounds of birds can be heard outside the artist's window.

My yellow girlfriend didn't leave my head
The singer is still thinking about the woman from the dream, even after waking up.

Got to stay forever in her bed
The singer desires to be with the woman from the dream permanently.

I'm in the spell of your delights
The song concludes with the artist admitting that they have become emotionally and physically invested in the woman from the dream.
