Pachinko Songtext
von The Pogues

I′m walking down Roppongi
The night is hot and smoggy
I drink a little coffee, a sake and a beer
I run into a ginja man, he speaks but I don't understand
He grins at me and takes my hand and whispers in my ear

I play Deji Pachi, I play Deji Pachi
I play Deji Pachi in my Pachinko dream
I go Uchi Domi, I go Uchi Domi
I go Uchi Domi in my Pachinko dream

My senses all asunder
I stand and stare in wonder
There′s bright light and there's thunder in Pachinko land
Well-versed in the way of Zen
My pockets lined full of yen
I walk the aisle and back again
And sit at Domo's hand


I play Deji Pachi, I play Deji Pachi
I play Deji Pachi in my Pachinko dream
I go Uchi Domi, I go Uchi Domi
I go Uchi Domi in my Pachinko dream

I′m on the Lexus fever
And my hand tight on the lever
I′m shrieking like a diva
Staring in a trance

Turn the handle to the right
A stream of silver balls in flight
It screams and howls a blaze of light
The earth moves below me
I'm laughing tears of sheer delight as I go Uchi Domi

I play Deji Pachi, I play Deji Pachi
I play Deji Pachi in my Pachinko dream
I go Uchi Domi, I go Uchi Domi
I go Uchi Domi in my Pachinko dream
