Notice the fall of the city.
Please watch it closely.
The sun outside shining.
The moon also hanging.
The years start to gather,
Your dreams start to tatter
Your tears busy fuelling this song I’m singing tonight
Through those hopeless nights
I wander alone
Through those hopeless nights
You hold my hand
Happiness a distance we’ll never see.
This cool fall night only confuses me.
At night when we should be sleeping
I lie awake and hear you weeping.
About all the things you ever wanted
About all the things that now haunt you.
The years start to gather,
Your dreams start to tatter
Your tears busy fuelling this song I’m singing tonight
Through those hopeless nights
I wander alone
Through those hopeless nights
You hold my hand
Happiness a distance we’ll never see.
This cool fall night hanging over me.

You throw away the gun
Did I tell you what’s to be done
I need it to kill just one
And you said, “I cannot sit sadly by your side”
And you said, “I cannot sit sadly by your side”
I try to push open the door
Just to see what came before
But there is a body on the floor.
And you said, “I cannot sit sadly by your side”
And you said, “I cannot sit sadly by your side”
You brought back that guitar
I told you I wanted it no more
It only plays the songs that no one is asking for.
I cannot sit sadly by your side.
I cannot sit sadly by your side
I bust into the room
Not knowing really what to do
They are on page two fifty two
It reads, “I can not sit sadly by your side”
“I can not sit sadly by your side”
And you said, “I cannot sit sadly by your side”
And you said, “I cannot sit sadly by your side”

My home is inside the second ring road / Where the local people have loads of time to kill / They are gossiping all day long / While watching which brand of cigarettes you would light up. / A greasy spoon is inside the second ring road / Where the migrant workers have no time to kill / They are working all day long / While their complexions are the same as mine.

My home is inside the second ring road
Where the local people have loads of time to kill
They are gossiping all day long
While watching which brand of cigarettes you would light up.
A greasy spoon is inside the second ring road
Where the migrant workers have no time to kill
They are working all day long
While their complexions are the same as mine.
My bike rolls on fallen leaves from dawn to dusk
Still I could not get to see Beijing western mountain
From the silver coin bridge as it used to be.
The lotus leaves in water already wilt
Where reflection of the moon negotiates with the streetlamp
About who will make fire and cook meal tomorrow
About should have fried bread sticks or crackers for breakfast tomorrow.
Bell and Drum Tower is inhaling dust and smoke
Feeling free to let you scrawling all over his face
Nowdays it is too loud and chaotic
Thus I can not hear your voice.
You have been witnessing it for too long
And why don’t you speak up your mind.
I wonder who raises this question
And why the right answers exist everywhere.
I wonder who raises this question
And why the right answers exist everywhere.

Written by Summer Lei(雷光夏)
I am just not believing the ending which is so simple,
I am just doubting my mood which has no regrets,
Your back in the sunshine turns out to be my last memory,
So does the fading smile by your lips.
Sunshine of May is shining,sunshine of May is blowing,
When boiling emotion turns out to be neat air.
Sunshine of May is shining,sunshine of May is blowing,
When young love is fading.
You and I are like windflowers blowing in the wind,
Born to be Vagabonding, forever young, forever tears.

Coffee Time
Music & Lyrics by Zuoxiao Zuzhou
Life is but a span and I love you so deeply
Don’t you feel happy?
Hand me your gun
And I will keep it for you
There is no need to shoot the cop
Even I hate them more than you do
Be cool, man, you refer to yourself as Yang Jia?
Would you like a cup of coffee?
Would you like some sugar?
Would you like a cup of coffee?
Would you like some sugar?
Would you like a cup of coffee?
Would you like some sugar?
Don’t be so sad
Like the way the world is
It’s not a big deal if you lose your way
But it’ll be so big deal if you change your day
We cannot say social ethnics degrade
Or could it be said that your morality degenerates?
The initial minutes is key for putting out a fire
While for election the last minutes will count
Don’t you see people are so bored here?
That is why they need to catch some exciting scenes
Watch out! The next car overtaking us will overturn itself tomorrow
Since that driver grows crossed eyes
Hey! Check out how delightful he is
Let us have another cup of coffee
Would you like a cup of coffee?
Would you like some sugar?
Would you like a cup of coffee?
Would you like some sugar?
Would you like a cup of coffee?
Would you like some sugar?
Don’t be so sad
Like the way the world is

Music & Lyrics by Bobby Chen
Then lend me that gun
Since you say you have no one left to shoot
You have seen through love, haven’t you?
Lend me that gun, or lend me five dimes
I will catch the train to the north
Never would I ever look back
Kill honesty, or kill love, and join us when the north monsoon starts to blow
Kill truth, or kill lies, before I sing a seething march song in the wild monsoon
Lend me that gun, I never said that I have no one left to shoot
Unless there is someone who would give you a chance to abase yourself
Lend me that gun, or lend me five dimes
I will head to the north where I belong and never come back
Don’t feel sad for me
When spring wind breezes over the sprouting green fields
The wild geese will bring you my message
Message of “miss you” that never ever fades
Come with me to the north where snow falls and land is icy
Where my soul can run wild
Leave with me from the south where love is shallow and land is warm
Where my blood will stop to flow
Kill honesty, or kill love, you will betray your honesty when love befalls
Kill truth, or kill lies, before they fight each other for honesty
Lend me that gun, I never said that I have no one left to shoot
When the truth stands by the lies, then I’ll shoot myself with love gun
Lend me that gun, or lend me five dimes, the southern sky is so sweet that it blinds my eyes
Don’t feel sad for me
When spring wind breezes over the sprouting green fields
The wild geese will bring you my message
Message of “miss you” that never ever fades

Bitter Ghost
Music & Lyrics by Zuoxiao Zuzhou
I’ve been articulating my tricks to a girl lately
Today she told me: Goodbye, lovely guy
And then I fell into a depression—she penetrated my ignorance deeply
She drove me in a swaddling blanket easily, as if she said to me:
“Brother, your sister will come back early today,”
She promised if she couldn’t nail a customer, she would steal a piece of iron from factory
And sell it to the grocery
Before bring back a bottle of mineral water to you
In every certain dynasty which hundreds of millions lost their jobs
We learned how to explain our tricks
The leaders always say:” Population is large, pot is small, we are very fine!
Since so many lives still grow in war-trodden land!”
You give people up with a cigar in mouth
Figuring out knacks while stamping feet
People are compelled to give up
People are petitioning for justice, to the higher authorities
You give people up with a cigar in mouth
Figuring out knacks while stamping feet
People are petitioning for justice, to the higher authorities troublesomely
People are compelled to give up
I give myself up back to the swaddling blanket
Staring at you preoccupiedly

Lyrics Adapted by Zuoxiao Zuzhou & Bobby Chen
Music by Zuoxiao Zuzhou
When you forget your past
When you satisfy your present
When you disregard your future
You are on the peak of your life
When you would not get carried away by success
When you would not get knocked down by failure
When you would not get drowned up by ordinary
You are on the peak of your life
My friend, don’t act like you don’t even care
You are on the peak of a crowd
How can you possibly not hear the children’s cry
La la la, la la la
La la la, la la
La la la, la la la
La la la, la la
When you could bear a sudden unhappiness
And forget to wield your power
When you could concern people’s misfortune
as well as salvation and consolation
You are on the peak of the spirit
When you could remember the past with an indebted heart
And look forward with a hopeful heart
When you could look down with a gracious heart
as well as look up with an unashamed heart
You are on the peak of the soul
My friend, don’t act like you don’t even care
You are on the peak of a crowd
How can you possibly not hear the children’s cry
La la la, la la la
La la la, la la
La la la, la la la
La la la, la la
La la la, la la la
La la la, la la
La la la, la la la
La la la, la la

Girl, I've Ripped Off God's Wallet
Music & Lyrics by Zuoxiao Zuzhou
The liquor I was drinking turned into lovesick tears
A rooster crowed in the midnight when you tapped on my window
God’s wallet is in green color
When the gold mine collapsed
I vaulted over the wall, stepped into your boudoir
Hey girl, you are my dear flower
It’s time to wake up your father the General
Then come with me to explore the world
Take soldiers, no more car repair jobs
We are all God’s kids
We walk as fast as the wind
We are all God’s kids
We walk as fast as the wind
God’s wallet is in green color
God’s wallet is in green color
Your pocket is all green now
I bet you already nailed the green wallet
Let your father discharge all the soldiers
Their skill of stealing is what I can no longer compare
Down beneath European continent is the boundless ocean
Our journey have already begun there and then
My dear girl, my dear flower
Up above is Qing-Tibet plateau, the plateau of all the plateaus
I will hold you tight while overlooking this desolation highland
We are all God’s kids
We walk as fast as the wind
God’s wallet is in green color
God’s wallet is in green color
It is raining now, we’d better head back home
To see your younger sister who is on a hunger strike
And pay respect to your boyfriend who killed himself
You should give her half of the green wallet
So she could tell the General to bugger off
His gun barrel could get so hot, his hands could get so cold
He is the one who makes me so scared
We are all God’s kids
We walk as fast as the wind
We are all God’s kids
We walk as fast as the wind
God’s wallet is in green color
God’s wallet is in green color

Confucius checks accounts for me
Celestial Master Zhang guards garden for me
Heavenly Queen Mother cooks for me
While I have a fairy as my maid
I’m God's Godfather
Am I honorable? You bet
That’s what they called, “a man can conquer the world”
If God doesn’t pee on me, then I will pee on him
Ai weiwei is my little donkey
Zhang Ziyi is my concubine
Zuoxiao Zuzhou is my bodyguard
While Han Han could not make a gigolo
I’m God's Godfather
Am I honorable? You bet
That’s what they called, “a man can conquer the world”
If God doesn’t pee on me, then I will pee on him
Well, well, you could say that I got bored
The truth is I had enough
But you won’t believe it if I tell you
Here comes the country I would like to take care
Seriously, seriously, I am not boasting at all
The land is your land, the land is my land
I’m God's Godfather
Am I honorable? You bet
