JUST LIKE THAT

I light up a cigarette

Just like that

To forget the misery

And the pain

Just like that

A freedom from the rain

An electric blue train

Just like that.

Is this a beginning or an end?

Or is it also

Just like that

Here I sit and learn

Through his reign

Just like that

Who are men and God?

And who is Mark Twain

Is it all in vain

Just like that?

I search for glory in rain

Which falls

Just like that

For those who appreciate pain

Just like that

It passes down from father to son

Just like that

Who will say I am sleepy now

Just like that

Yet it is time to sleep

Just like that

Whoever more I can bejewel

Her bedecked stain

For it lingers on momentarily

Just like that

It was passed down from

Mother to daughter

Just like that.
