Songtext Drinking martinis Maximo Park

Drinking martinis

Above a bar called tokyo
We watched the coast where traffic flows
Selective of the drinks that we buy
We used to drink the river bed dry
You and I

Chorus:
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 ties
We bathe until the water runs dry
You and I

Chorus:
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
