ok ya see twas 1983 when we first walked arm in arm
across the sea it was my destiny that i met her in hong kong
there it was a soldier falls in love walked through lan kwai fong
limousines and new wave beauty queens and a romance just begun

ya tsunami was her name and like a title wave she came
and now i'll never be free

i was drowning in a wave of ecstasy tsu-tsu-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
she rises up and then
i'm drowning in a wave of ecstasy tsu-tsu-tsunami

now some more twas 1984 tour of duty's almost over
i 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

i was drowning in a wave of ecstasy tsu-tsu-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

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 in hong kong

and like a killer title wave she washed my heart away
and now i'll never be free

i was drowning in a wave of ecstasy tsu-tsu-tsunami
so long ago and far away she still rises up to destroy me
although she's half a world away
ya it feels like yesterday
i'm drowning in a wave a ecstasy
ya i'm drowning in a wave of ectasy tsu-tsu-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 was drowning in a wave of ectasy tsu-tsu-nami
tsu-tsu-tsunami
tsu-tsu-tsunami
ah ah ah oh
tsu-tsu-tsu-tsunami
