Inspired by the film Doko ni mo ikenai by Ruichi Shimada, a film about a young women living on the streets of Tokyo in the 90s who developed schitzophrenia.
lyrics
Another Thanksgiving day
Out on the streets again
A day like any other
Except today, it’s rainin’
I give my thanks for any scrap of food
I give my thanks I’m still alive
Thanks to all them happy families
I give my thanks for my bein’
If I got one complaint
I’ll keep it to myself
If I go one complaint
I’ll keep it ‘til I’m gone
I got no place to go
I got no place to go
I got no place to go
In this world
Deep inside my head
The images are colliding
I got a world of trouble
Just making out your words
Hey mister what you tellin’ me
I see your lips are movin’
But everything you say
Is muffled by a curtain
If I got one complaint
I’ll tell it just it to you
Can you keep a secret?
Can I trust you?
I got no place to go
I got no place to go
I got no place to go
In this world
Another Thanksgiving day
At least that’s what they told me
I’d like to fall asleep
With someone holdin’ me
But I’ll keep movin’ on
Through the streets of this city
Looks like I’ll never rest
Looks like they won’t let me.
If I got one complaint
Is it really worth sayin’?
Do you really give a shit
About people like me?
I got no place to go
I got no place to go
I got no place to go
In this world
