[00:00.000] 作词 : S.Robinson/P.Johnson
[00:01.000] 作曲 : Nujabes
[00:09.78]Always in trouble need love on the double spent cake
[00:12.42]And a lifetime climbing to the level
[00:14.36]Contract with the devil loopholed expiration date
[00:17.20]On the side of good people always set the record straight
[00:19.50]Round and round the piano keys meditate
[00:21.82]Felt in the music need it now can't let it wait
[00:24.27]Not a secret everything is all out and exposed
[00:27.15]It's going down like the water in the river flows
[00:29.40]How it goes another day another story told
[00:31.46]Stuck inside the puzzle searching still trying to get a hold
[00:33.76]Forgotten souls got lost in the cold trying
[00:36.22]To get freedom now they need 'em walking down to hope road
[00:38.60]Said they hope so but it was a no go
[00:40.95]Front row stage show well placed logo
[00:43.31]Fancy lights and the cameras are on
[00:45.45]But he don't care he's just there to sing another sad love song
[00:48.58]Fade to black the soundtrack to another night
[00:50.52]Is The music of the rain and the city lights
[00:52.88]Feel no pain it makes the whole city bright
[00:55.21]Without the sparkle or hype it's just another night
[00:57.64]Fade to black the soundtrack to another night
[01:00.09]The music of the rain and the city lights
[01:02.65]Feel no pain it makes the whole city bright
[01:05.05]Without the sparkle or hype it's just another night
[01:07.38]And they all knew what it was from the first glance
[01:10.35]No excuses should've planned in advance man
[01:12.59]Documented on ProTools or Tascam
[01:14.99]Struggles & hustles of an ordinary black man
[01:17.27]Spin a record with two week life span
[01:19.69]Can't find a good girl so we hug the mic stand
[01:21.88]Not a lot of paper left in his right hand
[01:24.33]Making enemies of folks he treated like fam
[01:26.70]Stone cold solid rock every point stop
[01:29.12]What you lean on soon as the pressure drops
[01:31.62]Ghetto hot
[01:32.33]Know the ledge and you'll hear the shot
[01:33.75]But he'll never stop
[01:34.83]'Til his name's known on every block
[01:36.25]Spread my wings fly away to the night beat
[01:38.71]He's wide awake while the rest of the city sleeps
[01:41.21]In these gritty streets
[01:42.74]Dudes creep with plenty heat
[01:43.56]Pay it no mind and we grind losing plenty sleep
[01:52.83]Yo... Yo...
[01:55.48]Some play for keeps while you laid asleep
[01:57.58]In the dark your worst nightmare waits for he
[01:59.96]Anything discern, no dawn or despair
[02:02.31]Air's crisp and calm I think a storm is near
[02:04.71]And I'm watching lightning dance across the skyline
[02:07.27]Usually miss it, rarely find time
[02:09.78]To bask in blackness, hint of line shine
[02:12.04]But in a jazz pub chilling, sippin with fine wine
[02:14.61]Hypnotize by the strum of the upright
[02:16.96]Feel like lost souls got their eyes on me some nights
[02:19.22]So keep my eyes wide and move cautious
[02:21.74]Slip and find yourself in a brand new coffin
[02:24.15]By the morning...
[02:25.22]Now you're the one with the night breed
[02:26.92]You should've known better if you're anything like me
[02:28.86]But the city lights will seduce you
[02:31.29]Daywalkers beware if it's not what you're used to
