Lyrics Maximo Park – Drinking Martinis
Text:
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.
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.
