Lyrics Maxïmo Park

Maxïmo Park

Drinking Martinis

Above a bar called tokyo

We watched the post-work traffic flow

Selective of the drinks that we buy

We used to drink the river bed 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 changed

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

Echoes remain

Now that you’re gone

I see you so clearly

You were drinking martinis differing to me

Now that you’re gone

do you feel anything?

Now that you're gone

I see you so clearly

You were drinking martinis differing to me

Now that you're gone

Do you feel anything

For one night only

You were drinking martinis differing to me

Now that you're gone

Do you feel anything
