This is another installment  in my historical series. It is the third and final arrangement of this piece, such as it is. I had fun doing it. Dates to 1993, after I had moved to Tokyo and bought my Korg T2. Recording was done with a Tascam Porta One. I know the date because part of the lyrics are written on a envelope postmarked April 23, 1993!

Here they are. Must have been drunk when I wrote them. And some of them are shared with my other song Maybe Thing's Weren't Going so Good. Hmm, that's interesting...

You'll find the door's locked
But not for long
A visitor's coming
And he's bringing a song

Keep the lights in front on
Part the curtains
And put away the toys
'Cause one thing's certain

He'll wanta have fun, to be entertained
he's a year older to day
It's Yuji's birthday
Break out the beer, shochu, osake, alcohol, anything

Skydiving train tracks falling on the plain
Guess the noise it makes when it splatters is a pain
Ain't no other way but one "G" down
Too bad the damn parachute likes to play clown

Ever loving whim and the waters rise again
Damn me [bad word] them all I never learned to swim
What's it all about as the waters sweep past
Love always gets a start but never ever lasts

Lazin' life is gathering a pound of fat on me
It's settling in the place where my brain's supposed to be
A storm on the horizon darkens clouds like mad
I gotta heavy feeling that the weather's getting bad

Where's the good life that this world has promised me?
Why am I sitting her pondering how it should be
Spray it on, wash it off, a new tiger's hide
The costume seems to fit, but I never stay inside

Fast on the trail catching up too quick
on the pummeling snowball that just a while ago I kicked
The disaster I created has become all mine

Whirling dizzy skylights shining orange in the sun
Begging for its mercy for what it's done
Tiny little snowball started from falling off a branch
Now that I surpassed it it's become an avalanche

Wo, wo, blind are the free
Cursed are the others for stepping on me

This is my rap song, no more to say
So happy birthday from me
It's Yuji's Birthday (3)
