Lyrics
Tora! Tora! Tora!
They were raining from the sky
Exploding in my heart
Is this a love in disguise
Or just a form of modern art
From the skies you could almost hear them cry
Tora! Tora! Tora!
In the town they were going down
Tora! Tora! Tora!
I had a nightmare only yesterday
You played a skeleton
You took my love then died that day
I played an American
From the skies you can almost hear them cry
Tora! Tora! Tora!
In the town they were going down
Tora! Tora! Tora!
I played an American
