This is one of those strangely fun songs from way back that has been memorable enough for me to keep listening to it through the years even though I’m not a huge fan of much else the artist does. The video is bizarre and wonderful, so I decided to see if it had anything to do with the lyrics. Not so much. But hey, robots are cool, right?
The shoes I threw have crossed the horizon
As though the world was simply like a parabola
The piano echoes out making me want to cry
And I thought “I need to go buy some new shoes”
Let’s go somewhere, with no destination
Looking back, the TV is saying goodbye
Chewing at some garlic toast, I knew something had come to an end
It seemed to burst open with tomorrow’s premonition
The clown laughed, and I laughed back
His baggy shirt flapping in the wind
There is a circus now, with all its various things, but
He said “let’s talk about it some other time”
Well, let’s start from A to Z
Using only your favorite paint colors
In exchange for the melody we’ve lost
I’ll give you a useless tale
As though nobody can be happy
I wonder if we’ll ever meet again
No, we’ll never see each other again
Just a little bit, our fingers touched then parted
As though remembering something forgotten
Gazing into the distance, it was a little heartbreaking, wasn’t it
I want to see only that which hasn’t been seen
What I want right now is a revolutionary kiss
The garlic toast is burnt,
so I dipped it into the coffee that was a little too strong
It had the scent of a god
When the Rafflesia blooms,
It will bless my plans to meet you
Let’s eat garlic toast together
