Winter's city side
Crystal bits of snowflakes
All around my head and in the wind
I had no illusions that
I'd ever find a glimpse of summer heatwaves in your eyes

You did what you did to me
Now it's history I see
Here's my comeback on the road again
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight
It's easy when you're big in Japan
When you're big in Japan

Tonight, big in Japan, be tight
Big in Japan
Where the eastern sea is so blue
Big in Japan, alright
Pay then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan

Neon on my naked skin
Passing silhouettes of strange
Illuminated mannequins
Shall I stay here at the zoo? Or should I go
And change my point of view
For every ugly scene?
You did what you did to me, now
It's history I see
Here's my comeback on the road again
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight
It's easy when you're big in Japan
When you're big in Japan
Tonight, big in Japan, be tight
Big in Japan
Where the eastern sea is so blue
Big in Japan, alright
Pay then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan
Big in Japan, big in Japan

Fun fact: when this came out, the Alphaville singer Marian Gold was still working as cooks mate in his hometown in Germany. It got a lot of radio airplay and so one of the cooks said: "son, they are playing your song all day long" and fired him. So the singer was fired because his boss didn't want him to waste his career peeling potatoes.

This song should be sent to space as an example of good human artistic work.

What a beautiful song. At the same time sad, melancholic, intimate, with a backstory of a cold and hopeless Berlin
