All that city you just couldn’t see an end to it.
The end? Please? Can you please just show me where it ends?
It wasn’t what I saw that stopped me, it was what I didn’t see.
In all that sprawling city, there was everything except an end. There was no end.
What I did not see was where the whole thing came to an end, the end of the world.
How do you do it down there? How do you choose just one?
One woman, one house, one piece of land to call your own, one landscape to look at, one way to die. All that world just weighing down on you. You don’t even know where it comes to an end.
Aren’t youu ever just scared of breaking apart at the thought of it? The enormity of it.
I was born on this ship, and the world passed me by.
But 2000 people at a time, and there were wishes here.
But never more than fit between prow and stern.
You played put your happiness, but on a piano that was not infinite! I learned to live that way.
Land? Land is a ship too big for me. It’s a woman too beautiful, it’s a voyage too long, a perfume too strong, it’s music I don’t know how to make.
After all, I don’t exist for anyone.
Forgive me, my friend, but I’m not getting off.
