All the wasted time The wrong way down got turned around Through the looking glass again And when the lights go dim What you thought you saw As a tragic flaw it was just your last amen All that peace You could have had Drift away like smoke rings Came so close but lost the final clue But don’t give up I could be wrong But I’ll be right here, waiting Maybe there’s still time for you the lengths you’ve gone just to get what you wanted The tricks you tried You can run To the end of time but you can’t hide And in the moment’s heat You changed your mind You were city blind You were shooting from the hip But now it won’t be long Gonna realize coulda won the prize It was just a switch you flip All that peace You could have had Drift away like smoke rings Came so close but lost the final clue But don’t give up I could be wrong But I’ll be right here, waiting Maybe there’s still time for you the lengths you’ve gone just to get what you wanted The tricks you tried You can run To the end of time but you can’t hide

Everything comes around Always chasing Everything happens now Other worlds wasting It goes around Round and round Everything going down Poor young mister dean Everything breaking down Just riding the beam It goes around Round and round It goes around Round and round Everything lost is found Going up in flames Everything hurt is drowned Do not speak the names It goes around Round and round It goes around Round and round Everything underground You don’t have to hide Everything so profound ‘Cause everyone dies It goes around Round and round It goes around Round and round Defeat the king And you will bring It all around and round Round and round Round and round Round and round Round and round Round and round

Tokai Gurashi by Shu Nakamura 2021 Before I knew it, I got used to everyday life in the city People say they can't go back to their hometown’s society anymore Every day of city life is sometimes colorful and sometimes monochrome If you notice, you are totally dyed with a subtle color that you can't really describe A chaotic society that keeps changing but flowing so easily I don't even know if it's evolution or degeneration Speaking of urban life, it sure sounds cool But it's a big difference between success and just hanging Ah city life, is it the same as what I envisioned before? Ah this city life, am I still chasing a dream?

Modern world what have we become With tall buildings and machinery in flight Modern world your technology Confuses us and makes us feel complete I never close my eyes I never close my eyes Modern world you so beautiful You came in naked as the sun Modern world you know no enemies You are a starlight city in the sky Stay inside my heart Stay inside my heart for a while Times are changing, Times are changing now Get on, or get out of the way We won’t go back to a time before This modern world was helping us get by Modern world uses chemicals To silence to kill when we’re afraid Stay inside my heart Stay inside my heart for a while Times are changing, Times are changing now Get on, or get out of the way We won’t go back to a time before This modern world was helping us get by Many will come as many came before They will live They will die We won’t go back to a time before This modern world was helping us get by

In The City Does it seem so long ago Yesterday or maybe no can’t remember can’t recall I just don’t know Saw it there out in the void Out of focus polaroid Trapped inside a haunted house like an android Everyone is at the scene in the City Everyone is at the scene in the City People looking so destroyed Standing round unemployed air pollution every where you go Yellow Taxis in a row Politicians getting low Mattress on a fire escape Cause theres no escape Everyone is at the scene in the City Everyone is at the scene in the City Does it seem so long ago Yesterday or maybe no can’t remember can’t recall I just don’t know Saw it there out in the void Out of focus polaroid Trapped inside a haunted house like an android Everyone is at the scene in the City Everyone is at the scene in the City

The city was alive beneath its concrete and steel It was buzzing on caffeine and little blue pills It was hurting inside but it wore a game face As it thought about moving to a new place The city was ablaze with a new kind of love Had to go under, around and above Thirsty to find that magical touch Never enough but it was always too much Can you just hold me in your heart tonight send me a signal through the fading light There was a time, or was it just a dream When it was all so quiet as a mountain stream Peace in the valley and calm on hill Before they came with plow and the mill Soon the city took on all the familiar tropes Overpriced apartments on stock market slopes All twisted in a tangle of fiber optic thread Painted over with a million coats of red Can’t you just hold me in your arms tonight stay here beside me through the fading light Can you just give me every single thing Seal it with a kiss and sign it with a ring Every song is love song If you listen close Every heart is a bleeding heart That’s the way, just the way x 2 ....it grows The city had potholes and pitfalls and a crumbling overpass It was covered in graffiti and broken glass Rusting wrought iron rails passing through Streets that were lined with lost revenue But the city had a song humming in it’s wires Made of moonbeams and madness and cleansing fire There were violins, cellos and violas too And the melody was stickier than crazy glue Can’t you just hold me in your arms tonight Can’t stay beside through the fading light
