i was born in east japan
raised to be a salaryman
mild middle management
middle child damaged and
he looks like his father
i was born in passage cars
in smoking booths
and hostess bars
clouds that cling beneath the stars
middle rung, forever drunk
all the way up the latter
you can't get out through the doorway
i am part unfiltered cigarette
pocket piece and sleeping medicine
i am part of something bigger than me
late at night i sit alone on a higher beam
that overlooks the loading docks
that overlook the sea
but late at night is just morning in a factory
i wrap my tie around the rafters
you can't get out through the doorway
but you can get out on the seventeenth floor
looks like rain the way they're falling
clouds that cling beneath the stars
i was born to be a salaryman
i was born to be a salaryman
who looks like his father
