Maximo Park - Drinking Martinis lyrics

Above a bar called Tokyo we watch the post-work traffic flow, selective of the drinks that we buy. We used to drink the riverbed dry, you and I. We act as if the people we were are gone, but echoes remain. We act as if the way that we were was wrong, as if people change. Above the Hotel Kyoto there is a neon, scarlet glow. Dancing on the slippery tiles, we bathe until the water runs dry, you and I. We act as if the people we were are gone, but echoes remain. Now that you’re gone I see you so clearly. You were drinking Martinis, deferring to me. Now that you’re gone do you feel anything? For one night only, you were Drinking Martinis, deferring to me.
