Measuring the Length of Night
Lyrics: Zheng Dong
Music: Backspace
It was simple for me to come to the world
Come to hear nightly speeches made by the fowl
They always start to crow in the middle of the night
Like a spring bed that bumps us both awake
Better not rise; so as not to measure the night with the length of a piss
Better not rise; so as not to splash your sleeping face with piss
Cats in heat and thirsty mosquitoes
They'll suffocate if they don't cry out
To test their throats and see who's the loudest
Clouds crest on the right, rain covers the left
Like a shaky little bed carted into a concert hall
Better not rise; so as not to measure the night with the length of a piss
Better not rise; so as not to splash your sleeping face with piss
Better not rise; so as not to measure the night with the length of a piss
Better not rise; so as not to splash your sleeping face with piss

Befuddled Boy
Lyrics: Zheng Dong
Music: Backspace
You polish your feathers in this entrancing night
Finish your eye makeup then head wherever dazzles and intoxicates
Walk into a shimmering crowd
I don't know how she should be appreciated
In a blurred night city, where else is there
Wherever we go, it'll be the same
Come~ Enjoy a cheap dinner by the road
Aye~ Her veil slips lightly down
Face of the night lit up in an instant
After moments of silence I get one more phrase
Where should hearts ruined by cities be placed
Wherever, it's all the same
Come~ Welcome to a kitchen in chaos
Aye~ How could you lie while shadows of our glasses crossed
Aah~ After delight, I hear your bell chiming in a frenzied daze
Hey~ Where should the half a heart hiding in your dazzling wings be placed

Three Mothers
Lyrics: Zheng Dong
Music: Backspace
Three mothers of mine
One wants more generations
One wants me to be full
And one other mother
She wants a future from me
She says
Aaah~
"My beautiful image
Can take no filth, regret, or flaws"
Go wash away your past
Aaah~
I'm already lying in your tomb made of years
I try but see no end to your expectations
Whatever you say, Mom
Whatever you say, Mom
Whatever you say, Mom
I'm already draining into a molten iron riverbed
The milk of your body once watered my chest
Aaah~
I'm already lying in your tomb made of years
I can't see the edges of your hope from here
Up to you, mom
Up to you, mom
Up to you, mom
I'm already lying in a molten iron riverbed
The milk from your body once watered my chest
Aaah~

Face Mask Tragedy
Lyrics: Zheng Dong
Music: Backspace
An inch between our faces
A distance that won't yield
Can't bear to be parted
Yet no way to get close
However much intimacy
Still an inch can't be passed
Speeding car lights will replace you soon
With glass between us, I'll be sad and swoon too
You call up in the middle of the night
Said goodbye to your new lover in a corner store
You say you it's been torment, living through this time
No more protection, and no more foreplay
The street lights breathe
Take the inch from your face, please
La~
You lost power in the middle of the night
In your dry, stuffy blankets, lightning strikes
Streams of rain water hook into your eyes
No more protection, and no more foreplay
Take another breath
Rip off that distance, repeatedly placed
I would give my life for you
Don't turn this way and that anymore
And I would give my life for you
I would give my life for you
Don't come near then turn back anymore
And I would give my life for you

Rejoice for Our Travels Through the Night
Lyrics: Zheng Dong
Music: Backspace
How did you get here
How did you get here
Before taking off your travelling pack
Diamond-like flames burn over liquid rock
Bodies passing freely through fickle cities
You and I will always be by faults and crises
Rejoice for our travels through the night
Together, together, together, together
Together, together, together, together
Diamond-like flames burn over liquid rock
Bodies passing freely through fickle cities
You and I will always be by faults and crises
Rejoice for our travels through the night
