Do Luck Drew

There you went
a way
a ways away
from the place
from where you were raised
Do luck drew
Oh do luck drew
some things you can run from
and still never make
it away
no matter
how much you pray
Godspeed you
Oh do luck drew
and you might find
a snake waiting with a grin
the pet of the stranger
that you let in
and it's bite will sting
and you neck it'll wring
but be strong
oh my friend
don't let it win
good luck drew
yes do luck drew
and when all's said and done
and the daylight comes
you will see
yes you will
that there's a second floor to life
there's a second floor to life
right by all the strife
there's a second floor to life

Spin the machine
Cause' daddy told you to
you cut your twin brother
you don't have a soul
Turn on the power
the race is starting soon
They need a switch to know
when to start running
The gymnast stands beside
the ballerina girls
he doesn't give a fuck
about the rest of the world
The strawberry jam
he got from a machine
it's the same routine
he'll suck it clean
I picked up the phone
God was on the line
she spoke to me in japanese
so I hung up

Good Old Toride

The train it chugs
on a long long line
Still weary from the week
stilling a want of a kind
Its far too cold
to do too much
my friend Ango
once told it as such
Do you know
do you know
where we're going to my friend?
Cast all your troubles all away
We're headed for where
the breeze blows strong
to good old Toride!
Friends will keep
our souls so warm
this I truly know
It might be a hard time
that worsens far too far
sleep might be scarce
your lips might be cracked
The times might be harsh
but it's only 2 more hours
Do you know
do you know
where we're going to my friend?
Cast all your troubles all away
We're headed for where
the breeze blows strong
to good old Toride!

Mimiko
you're a wonderchild
that all the world will know
may the Konohana sun
smile brightly at you
may a good wind be always at your back
your whole life through
