Lyric

Strange Thing Is

[Verse 1]

I have to go to a funeral

I missed the last train

I bought a ticket that worked only for that day

No refunds

I don’t even have enough for a taxi

To the transfer station

Strange thing is—

The ticket

Was just a cheap barber shop card

[Verse 2]

I have to go to a funeral

I brought the suit

But forgot the black tie

I borrowed a dark tie

From Yoshida Rui —

A bar-walking old man

With too many ties

Hanging from his neck

While I was thanking him

The train left

Strange thing is—

There are no bars in this town

[Verse 3]

I have to go to a funeral

I missed the last train of my life

A one-way ticket

For my own existence

No need for a refund

Anymore

Maybe I can’t even die now

Strange thing is—

Death itself

Means less than nothing

[Outro]

I had a strange dream

The ticket machine was covered in mud

Straw clinging to it

I set it on fire

And watched it burn

I want to become that straw

I don’t need tickets anymore

Not anymore

Just straw

Just something that burns

And disappears
