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
