Letra de DE BISHOP ALLEN de BISHOP ALLEN.

( Bishop Allen )

I caught the bus in Chinatown
And slept the whole way up by 95
The driver, cut and weaved so crazy, just his luck kept him alive
and I guess I believed his rhythm on that morning after New
Year´s Eve

And I remember Shanghai
How I wasn´t sure just what was safe to eat
The chickens pecked and wandered at the barefoot ankles of the
children hawking figurines of workers smiling
What´s the Chinese word for cheese?

Watched a sidewalk butcher
His instinctive understanding made the carcass snap and clarify
beneath his nimble hands that held the knife so long, so many
times, the handles´ changed to ships just like his fingers and his palms

And I, I am a passenger tonight
I watch the world, from inside

It´s 2AM in Tokyo
And still too soon to call back to the people who will soon begin
the day I polished off and I will walk a mile amidst the neon lights that advertise
I don´t know just what they sell

I tell the taxi driver
To the park, a higher tone
And his gloves are pristine white just like the girls I used to know
would wear to dance their first cotillion
Every single one of them named Jennifer

I clutched at the same Christopher
I picked up at some country abbey long ago when I believed he´d
keep me safe and make me happy but it seems the luck he brings is not the common currency of penny in Japan

And I, I am a passenger tonight
I watch the world, from inside
