Steam fills up the room / I am alone with myself / Ten minutes of peace

Have you ever had your coffee served by an ogre, Haruki-san?
Did it ever rain squirrels on your morning walk?
Has your pasta ever gone limp because you got a call from a dolphin,
Telling you about a secret mission organized by a goat man?
I wonder if you’ve ever fallen in love with a woman’s ear,
If that’s where it all comes from
Tell me, Haruki-san
Every time I read you I wonder where you get it
And when the phone does ring
And when the rain pours down
And when I squeeze into an alley
And when the mysterious man comes
And when the narwhal asks to enter…
I wonder, should I let it?

Let’s take a trip down to Petra
Go on a joyride around Troy
In a wooden horse if they let ya
I’m a dead city kinda boy
There’s a cafe in Babylon
You get in if you know the code
I hear Akkad’s kinda happening
We just need to find the road
The world is turning oh so fast
Even places struggle to survive
So if we want to make this last
Let’s make dead cities come alive
