[Verse 1]
City life is comfortable.
We’d get around by train and bus,
Or take my car onto the highway to drive to the distant seaside.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
There was always traffic on the highway back,
And it was usually close to midnight by the time I arrived.
[Chorus 1]
Listening to the music
Drifting from the FM radio,
The line of cars stretched on forever, a continuous stream of lights.
[Verse 2]
When I flew home to visit,
The wait at the airport was long.
The flight itself was short,
But the airport bus ride took a long time.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
For the final leg of the journey,
I had no choice but to take a taxi.
[Chorus 2]
Listening to the music
Drifting from the FM radio,
The line of cars stretched on forever, a continuous stream of lights.
[Verse 3]
When I took the Shinkansen home,
The wait at the station was short.
The train ride was long,
Ending at an unmanned station.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
We’d carry our heavy luggage from the station and walk the rest of the way home.
[Chorus 3]
Listening to the music
Drifting from the FM radio,
The line of cars stretched on forever, a continuous stream of lights.
[Bridge]
Plenty of souvenirs
And smiles of reunion,
A hot summer
And cold watermelon.
[Final Chorus]
Listening to the music
Drifting from the FM radio,
The line of cars stretched on forever, a continuous stream of lights.
[Outro]
