The Chinatown Bus Lyrics

	作曲 : Rice, Rudder
	I caught the bus in Chinatown
	And slept the whole way up by 95
	The driver, cut and weaved so crazy, just his luck kept him alive and I guess I believed his rhythm on that morning after New Year's Eve
	And I remember Shanghai
	How I wasn't sure just what was safe to eat
	The chickens pecked and wandered at the barefoot ankles of the children hawking figurines of workers smiling
	What's the Chinese word for cheese?
	Watched a sidewalk butcher
	His instinctive understanding made the carcass snap and clarify beneath his nimble hands that held the knife so long, so many times, the handles' changed to ships just like his fingers and his palms
	And I, I am a passenger tonight
	I watch the world, from inside
	It's 2AM in Tokyo
	And still too soon to call back to the people who will soon begin the day I polished off and I will walk a mile amidst the neon lights that advertise
	I don't know just what they sell
	I tell the taxi driver
	To the park, a higher tone
	And his gloves are pristine white just like the girls I used to know would wear to dance their first cotillion
	Every single one of them named Jennifer
	I clutched at the same Christopher
	I picked up at some country abbey long ago when I believed he'd keep me safe and make me happy but it seems the luck he brings is not the common currency of penny in Japan
	And I, I am a passenger tonight
	I watch the world, from inside
