Last Concert In Japan [live]

The sky is red, i don't understand,
Past midnight i still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
The city's a blaze, the town's on fire.
The woman's flames are reaching higher.
We were fools, we called her liar.
All i hear is "burn!"

I didn't believe she was devil's sperm.
She said, "curse you all, you'll never learn!
When i leave there's no return."
The people laughed till she said, "burn!"
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin', we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still i hear "burn!"

You know we had no time,
We could not even try.
You know we had no time.

You know we had no time,
We could not even try.
You know we had no time.

The sky is red, i don't understand,
Past midnight i still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin, we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still i hear "burn!"

Nobody gonna have my girl

Like a moving mouth body control
And everything

Nobody gonna steal my head

Fly into the rising sun,
Faces, smiling everyone
Yeah, she is a whole new tradition
I feel it in my heart

My woman from tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from tokyo
She's so good to me

Talk about her like a queen
Dancing in a eastern dream
Yeah, she makes me feel like a river
That carries me away

My woman from tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from tokyo
She's so good to me

But i'm at home and i just don't belong ...

So far away from the garden we love
She is what moves in the soul of a dove
Soon i shall see just how black was my night
When we're alone in her city of light

Rising from the neon gloom
Shining like a crazy moon
Yeah, she turns me on like a fire
I get high

My woman from tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from tokyo
She's so good to me

(cook/coverdale)

She was a juke-box dancer
A blue eyed gypsy queen
She always had an answer
For what she'd done
And where she'd been
A feathercane lady midnight
For all around to see
She spoke with words of wisdom
And this is what she said to me

Lady luck
C'mon give me what i want
Pull me up
Lady luck
If i see you again
I will call you my friend

I have always been a sinner
But then the lady came along
She stole my heart and turned me 'round
'till i didn't know right from wrong
She whispered words of kindness
I'd never ever heard before
Golden words and silver tongue
Till i really couldn't take no more

Lady luck
C'mon give me what i want
Pull me up
Lady luck
If i see you again
I will call you my friend
C'mon shake me

(blackmore/coverdale)

I have often told you stories
About the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When i'd take your hand
And sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
Come lay with me love me
And i would surely stay

But i feel i'm growing older
And the songs that i have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess i'll always be...
A soldier of fortune

Many times i've been a traveller
I looked for something new
In days of old
When nights were cold
I wandered without you
But those days i thougt my eyes
Had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here

Now i feel i'm growing older
And the songs that i have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess i'll always be...
A soldier of fortune
Yes, i can hear the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess i'll always be
A soldier of fortune
