WHAT A LONELY LIFE
OJO 2004

Something must happen soon
I am sitting here divided
and I don't know what to do
since I retired from my earlier life
and I believed that I provided returning
but now I am not so sure anymore
because I never felt so lonely in my life before
and my pockets are empty and my stomach too
and I am also late with my rent
so maybe next week I am standing out on the street
and then it will be too late to prevent

What can I possibly do
I don't want to return
I thought that I had learned
but how shall I survive
on nothing

Something must happen soon
nobody calls for me anymore
and my phone is silent like the moon
since I have no affairs and no appointments
with anyone at the bottom of some stairs
so I can make a sort of income
I thought that I found a new meaning in my life
but it is fading
and I can not think about anything else but trading
even if I know it will bring only sorrow
but what am I supposed to do

Something must happen soon
because I can not continue starving myself
in all these peculiar ways
I am standing between good and bad
and it only makes me feel sad inside my lonely heart
because nobody is supporting me
with my will to make a better life
something is bound to happen soon to me
wrong or right is does not matter anymore at all
because it is impossible
to live like I am living today

Something must happen soon
something that will change this lonely life
into something lasting
