lyrics

Out of the restaurant, onto the pavement
I caught my own face in a window arrangement
Before I could pose, tilt my chin, rest my lips
I looked pissed; it’s no wonder I was left alone

Back in old Kyoto I pedaled my bicycle
Stared at the windows, hoped for a miracle
Wove through the cars, paused at convenience stores
Fucked my own journal, paper and pen

Oh Friend, where’d you go, where’ve you been?
I spent years on your arm, I spent years in your bed
Cursed your name at the ground, clung to you in a crowd
We were always so close, a house and her ghost
And where are you now, babe?

Flipped through the pages, oh the things I said
Lists and commandments, thou shalt not have it
Sipping and guilty, beer down the sink
I never could manage to drink alone
Laying on the futon I listened to rats in the wall
How they’d scuffle and fight through the night
I feared like a child, something dark was waiting
To do me some harm and the nights were so long

Oh Friend, where’d you go, where’ve you been?
I spent years on your arm, I spent years in your bed
Cursed your name at the ground, clung to you in a crowd
We were always so close, A house and her ghost

And where are you now, baby?
And where are you now, babe?
