What Is A Life? |
I’ve lived in this town for 13 years, I’ve been around. |
You see that window in that tower? |
That was mine. |
Under that fluorescent light |
I made cold calls through the night to places |
Deep in suburbs I will never go. |
And then in Chinatown I’d get something and hang around. |
How does that busker know each day from the rest? |
See that man who just brushed past me? |
Well I know him, |
But don’t ask me about him. |
I wonder, is he still with his wife? |
What is a life? |
The ferries pull up in the evening warmth. |
I used to give out papers here |
As they rushed on their way home. |
The streets are full of plaques. |
Just where that park is used to be |
A den of sailors, Jesus Christ! |
What is a life? |
Of all the jobs I’ve had, |
I can’t say they’ve turned out bad, |
It’s just funny to think that that was me. |
A waiter on his break, he smokes a cigarette a |
Nd takes a long look at a repaired paring knife. |
