Goodbyes and red-eyed hellos
Music in my ears that brings me to
My happiness
It may die
And if it does I’m okay
I got a smile to share
Squatttin’ up against the beam
These folks comin’ or they goin’ from
The club like me;
This is life —
A side we seldom see
Until you out or heading out to
Start up on your day when us fucked
Up folks coming back from our play;

But it’s so goddam beautiful
The green and the red and the
Lights of the next train
Takin me home
From a chapter I hope to never give away.
Youth — a time to seize — and cherish
And above all just be
But it ain’t fuckin easy decipherin’
This self;
These bones and these thoughts and these
Fucked up images of what the self is
Supposed to be, but sometimes
We lose that image and we lose
Ourselves with other lost souls
In the station
Lost just like we.

And I’m waiting I’m waiting I’m
Waiting as they walk around me,
Feeling alone but they walking around me
Are you alone too? Or are we all together
Just yawning and wishing that we had
Some sheets and somebody to hold
Somebody to touch skin on skin
And to listen to a tune and to go
To sleep at night and wake up with the sun.

It’s coming in thirty, in ten, in five we’re outside
Rolling through Tokyo.
I don’t know this fucking place but
It feels like home, feels like me,
The pain doesn’t matter.
I love this shit more than I can possibly express.

On the train with the other gangs
Of youth, passed out drunk out swaggin’ from they chest,
Colorful drip and mangled up hair,
In love with the shoulder on which their heads rest,
In love with
People who don’t know.
