Huaihai Road
Give yourself to warmer nights that drizzle on your tounge
Feel the pavement scuff the soles of your shoes
As the taxis fly by with lulling passengers
And the construction workers toil through the night
Tunneling around, beneath, between your feet
And Huaihai Road never ends
***
Give your mind to the flashing-light shoptowns
Let your judgment slide with the icicle lights
As the bottle of booze in your hand grows lighter
And you feel like the street could become a runway
And Huaihai Road never ends
***
Give yourself to those thoughts of home
Where you once uttered words that meant more
Than the friction of two strangers passing
Comparing the marks on their hides
And Huaihai Road never ends, Huaihai Road never ends.
