"Domino" is a song written by the English rock band Genesis for their thirteenth studio album Invisible Touch (1986). The song was the sixth track on the album. The music was written by the band, while the lyrics were written by their keyboardist Tony Banks. The song is divided into two parts, "In the Glow of the Night" and "The Last Domino".
The song, though not released as a single, charted at number 29 on the US Mainstream Rock chart.
The B-side of the "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" single was the first half of this song, "In the Glow of the Night", while the B-side of "Invisible Touch" was the second part of the song, "The Last Domino".
During a clip titled "Tony talks about his inspiration" on the live DVD When in Rome 2007 (2008), Banks states that his inspiration for the song lyrics was the Lebanese Civil War, which was still being contested prior to the recording of Invisible Touch. He set the action in a hotel room in Beirut, minutes after bombs start to fall on the city.
