Cherry Blossom Blues - Ian Thompson

The mood is kicking on the streets and in the bars
designer hyper wonder drugs and superstars
with every billboard I feel helplessly seduced
with all this happening of the times
no wonder we are out our minds

The clock is ticking on your precious little life
he's trying to scrape all he can get out with a knife
with every dying dream she feels herself denied
standing with my flag unfurled
there's something I just got to tell the world
Before I die oh you poor crazy child
look me in the eye and say you've had enough of all the suffering in this world when you fall in despair
do you find there's nobody there

The rats are licking all the polish off his shoes
their tongues are poisoned they've got
cherry blossom blues
you're such an empty worthless useless lifeless soul
listen to my point of view there's something
I just want to share with you
Before I die oh you poor crazy child
look me in the eye and say you've had enough of all the suffering in this world when you fall in despair
do you find there's nobody there

standing with my flag unfurled
there's something I just got to tell the world
Before I die oh you poor crazy child
look me in the eye and say you've had enough of all the suffering in this world when you fall in despair do you find there's nobody there
