lyrics

020-Yumi in the Kanji Clouds

Chase the bears
Run after the hares
Flee the stairs
To despair

I was known for, can’t deny it,
Losing battles against my own shadow, my shadow,
Shadows of the bright night.
Can’t deny who will cry,
Who will see more than the eye?

Gently go for the prize
Use your camouflage in style
Under the ground, bite or be bitten
Wipe your mouth. Mother called.
Yumi, grab your bow and arrow
And aim for the marrow
Like there’s no tomorrows
Or you’ll be kind of cold, cold.

Stack up the bricks, Human!
California roll, pretend you still know how,
How bloody mornings go, still
Who’ll be looking (out) for your now, my love?
You and your Feather
Sister of the clouds.
You don’t know what she just told me now.

Yumi in the kanji clouds
Yumi you can speak to owls
Yumi in the kanji clouds
Yumi you can speak to owls
Yumi you can touch the hearts.
Of the people who’ve lost their art.
Touch, touch, touch, touch my heart

Help me grow a flower, you sang
Writing kanji-thoughts, Yumi Chan.
See that Naboo star?
Ready for you, Grande-Soeur.

Can you find me now?
Yumi, you can,
Touch the stars.
Yumi chan

Have you been hexed as the needle gouges the vinyl? Catch a glimpse of Mamoru Nagano’s Five Star Stories, the bitter-sweet world of Twin Peaks, or even the airbrushed afterlife of H.R.Giger.

Forgive the elegant flaws of youth, like yunomi high-fired pottery, and dissect the records slowly maturing like Hibiki whisky.
We were not here. ... more
