[Intro]
Hey, everyone, this is Lori... no, this is Kyoto Majo.
Straight from Kyoto, you know.
I love making music with my piano, and my old computer.
I just enjoy the simple things, I guess.
[Verse 1]
Creative soul here
Always strumming quiet tune
Jamming with ghost friends
Under cloudy pale moon tonight
We play in bar I can't pronounce name
[Verse 2]
They call me gaijin
Silly foreigner who tries hard
Tell me look at stone
But I just keep on looking at you
I love good ramen at small café
[Verse 3]
Swinging on train ride
Lost in this city's hazy maze
Vivid neon glows
As I'm just passing by the shops
I'm just passenger, rice cake sweet
[Verse 4]
My apartment feels
Overcrowded, memory ache
So many people
In one small space, for goodness' sake
Coffee shop, my first show, feels far now
[Verse 5]
Just a small bird in
Concrete garden, watching day end
I'm about it, Lord
Forgive me, I suppose it's true
My apartment was overcrowded then
[Verse 6]
You fake cats heard first
And it doesn't matter at all
The lies, the love words
Empty words, a rhythmic chatter sound
Ara ara, in the building phrase
[Verse 7]
Simple little words
Mantra for all thoughts I bring here
A phrase that I sing
To help me through the busy day noise
Small comfort in the crowded world
[Outro]
I like to think there's a
little girl doing this, too,
Singing about the small bird garden,
just like me and just like you.
It was gonna be fun,
that gig we had to lose,
But a good story, you see,
is something you always choose.
Yes, a good story,
you always choose.
And a good memory,
you keep that for a while.
