Evaporate (Jōhatsu)
The rhythm of a train
Rocking hypnotic
Gets me sleepy
I rest my eyes
And how quickly
My mind’s delivered
Back to the threshold
Of that urge
Back to the beginning
Of starting again
O, if I run away
If I run away...
Would you
Come with me?
This thing, it lures me
And always has done
There’s a persistent calling
A seductive promise
I hear it between the verses
of my favourite songs
I see it in the jagged movements
of the ballet of evening traffic
Its chorus grows ever louder
And I only pull it closer
But if I run away...
If I run away...
Would you
Come with me?
Come with me
Let’s evaporate...
