O.k. ya see t'was 1983 when we first walked arm in arm
Across the sea it was my destiny that i'd find her in hong kong
There it was a soldier falls in love as we walked through lan kwai fong
Limousines and new wave beauty queens and a romance just begun
Ya tsunami was her name like a title wave she came
And now i'll never be free
I was drowning in a wave of ecstasy tsunami
Just when you think the worst has past she rises up to destroy me,
Just when you think it's safe to sail again
Ya she rises up and then
I'm drowning in a wave of ecstasy
Tsu-tsu-tsunami
Now some more t'was 1984 tour of duty's almost over
Begged that girl to join me in my world but no man could control her
Out of the south china sea tsunami rolled over me
And now i'll never be free
(chorus)
I told you 'bout europa and me
And how she haunted every memory
Went round the world just to forget that song
To sing a new one for a girl from hong kong
And like a killer title wave she washed my heart away
And now i'll never be free
I'm still drowning in a wave of ecstasy tsu-tsu-tsunami
So long ago so far away she still rises up to destroy me
Although she's half a world away
It feels like yesterday
I'm still drowning in a wave of ecstasy
Tsu-tsu-tsunami
