Life's Short Lesson
By: Murasaki
I should have listened to you when you talked
and taken down every word you spoke in a line
I could have learned something, maybe not
Oh well, I guess it's my loss this time
I could maybe make it along the way, go all alone
take a bus instead of walking all of the way there
with dwindling money, just enough to get me home
just my little room where noone can hear me, nor care
I guess I can always go on in my old world of lies
and my little shoe box appartment, myempty windowling
then go back to my work where they all laugh inside
always pointing at me in secret, always whispering
or maybe i can wake up and try it all for real, prepared
with a little white sheet and a pencil to hold of mine
so i can write down every word you speak on paper
Oh well, I guess I'll try to do it right this time
perhaps... it's best this way.
