CRAZY DAYS CRAZY FEELING
Stuck onto the burning bright red surface of a city building
A Tengu Flies off Twilight sky Floats up into the early full moon
Visions of the life and work of our ancestors from long ago
All of creation Dying and reborn Life repeating, all things are fleeting
This freak-mankind Can’t understand theses modern times
Wriggling in the dirt and lo They come out lively and in droves
The karma of genes Instincts bubbling up incessantly
Popping out one after another Babies burdened with a fate they can’t escape
CRAZY DAYS CRAZY FEELING
Everyday is pretty much insane, it’s strange The scenes my eyeballs see
Living like prey to this city We keep on spewing our own praises
Starting to see what’s real The end of this Tombo pencil I’ve sharpened like steel
I use it for words that pierce to the bone With a sound even more fiercely honed
I’ve gone beyond BLUE into manic mode On my mind’s vagrant travels I GO GO GO
In this world where people die left right and centre It’s all for nothing if you just throw it away, die in a slipshod manner
Everyday I’m living Self-questioning For public viewing I do my hyperbolic self-confessing
I think I better hold on to at least a sense of being alive
No matter how crazy I go in my mind
CRAZY DAYS CRAZY FEELING
