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
