Concrete and Cherry Blossom Songtext

von Simple Minds

I'm on the rooftop

People circle round the atomical sun,
Mid the concrete shapes and the cherry blossom.
Walking up and down, over Moonacre Square,
It was aeons ago, still I feel there.

I'm on the rooftop, yeah, yeah,
I got my sunshades on, I'm feelin' fine.
I'm on the rooftop, yeah yeah,
I'm in a sun-spot, thinkin', I won't be left behind

Sometimes I am there, in the cool morning mist
In the tower block dreams, that I cannot resist
Feel like heading back where the magic begun
Mid the concrete squares and the cherry blossom

I'm on the rooftop, yeah, yeah,
I got my sunscreen on, I'm feelin' fine.
I'm on the rooftop, yeah yeah,
I'm in the sun-spot, thinkin', I won't be left behind

La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la lo

High above the clouds, where I have no cares
With the rainbow curls, and the smoky air
When I settle down to the deepest clear
I'm back in Tokyo, in a neon street.

Back on the rooftop, yeah, yeah,
I got my sunshades on, I'm feelin' fine.
I'm on the rooftop, yeah yeah,
I'm in a sun-spot, thinkin' I won't be left behind

Yeah yeah

Back on the rooftop, yeah, yeah,
I'm on the rooftop, yeah, yeah,
I'm on the rooftop, yeah, yeah,
I'm on the rooftop, yeah, yeah,
I'm in the sun, yeah, yeah,
I'm in the sun, yeah, yeah,

Got my sunscreen on, leaving this world behind.
