[Verse 1]
Baby's got a lot of baggage
It don't seem to matter, it don't seem to matter
Bought a ticket to the mid-west, just for business
But dismissed it from the interest
It was a risk just for a mistress
Who was a hostess on the West Coast
Don't you see it in my eyes tonight?
Baby's got a lot of baggage

[Chorus]
Where do I have to go
To find a honey with a little soul?
Tokyo, Tokyo, turn out the lights and let it go
Oh, it's nice to meet you
Kimi tanoshimu
Tokyo, Tokyo, pay in the palms of the rock'n'roll

[Verse 2]
Get that dynamite
Chick-a-boom on the town tonight
I never seem to get it right
But you can show me so politely
Now don't you see it in my eyes tonight?
Get that dynamite

[Chorus]
Where do I have to go
To find a honey with a little soul?
Tokyo, Tokyo, turn out the lights and let it go
Oh, it's nice to meet you
Kimi tanoshimu
Tokyo, Tokyo, pay in the palms of the rock'n'roll

[Post-Chorus]
Hey, I come back to where you are
Hey, I come back to where you are
Get that dynamite

[Chorus]
Where do I have to go
To find a honey with a little soul?
Tokyo, Tokyo, turn out the lights and let it go
Oh, it's nice to meet you
Kimi tanoshimu
Tokyo, Tokyo, pay in the palms of the rock'n'roll
Where do I have to go
To find a honey with a little soul?
Tokyo, Tokyo, turn out the lights and let it go
Oh, it's nice to meet you
Kimi tanoshimu
Tokyo, Tokyo, pay in the palms of the rock'n'roll

[Post-Chorus]
Hey, I come back to where you are
Hey, I come back to where you are

[Outro]
To-okyo, To-okyo

Imagine Dragons

One of the defining artists of the 2010s and perhaps the biggest band of the decade, Imagine Dragons is an American alt-rock band that originated in Las Vegas and led by Dan Reynolds. While the band began in 2008, the group boasted an entirely different roster than most are familiar. Before releasing their debut album, Night Visions, in 2012, the band released six EPs over four years, constantly shifting their sound and roster from folk to the crowd-shattering anthems they’ve been known for since.

The band’s roster was finalized before Night Visions‘ release with Daniel Platzman on the drums, Wayne Sermon on guitar, and Ben McKee on bass. Their break-out single, “Radioactive” was essential to putting Vegas on the map musically, citing The Killers before them. The song went on to become an international success, obliterating the record for the most weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 at 87 straight weeks.

It wasn’t until 2015 the band released their sophomore album, Smoke + Mirrors. The album was extremely divergent from their freshman album, characterized by an accentuation of their Rock roots and an internal struggle, later described by Reynolds as being his bout with severe depression.
