In the suburbs I I learned to drive And you told me we'd never survive Grab your mother's keys we're leavin'
You always seemed so sure That one day we'd fight in In a suburban world your part of town gets minor So you're standin' on the opposite shore But by the time the first bombs fell We were already bored We were already, already bored
Sometimes I can't believe it I'm movin' past the feeling Sometimes I can't believe it I'm movin' past the feeling again
Kids wanna be so hard But in my dreams we're still screamin' and runnin' through the yard And all of the walls that they built in the seventies finally fall And all of the houses they build in the seventies finally fall Meant nothin' at all Meant nothin' at all It meant nothin
Sometimes I can't believe it I'm movin' past the feeling Sometimes I can't believe it I'm movin' past the feeling and into the night
So can you understand? Why I want a daughter while I'm still young I wanna hold her hand And show her some beauty Before this damage is done
But if it's too much to ask, it's too much to ask Then send me a son
Under the overpass In the parking lot we're still waiting It's already passed So move your feet from hot pavement and into the grass Cause it's already passed It's already, already passed!
Sometimes I can't believe it I'm movin' past the feeling Sometimes I can't believe it I'm movin' past the feeling again
I'm movin' past the feeling I'm movin' past the feeling
In my dreams we're still screamin' We're still screamin' We're still screamin'
一進地鐵裡滿足的感覺就可以瞬間被瓦解,車裡沒有位置可以坐,一站一站後人越來越多,我想可能是正值下班時間吧,在搖搖晃晃過了幾站之後,警覺到自己的狀況又有點不對勁了,眼前開始變暗冒星星,這次我開口求救了,其實也不知道旁邊站的是誰,但也顧不了那麼多,在還沒真正失去意識之前試著掙扎看看,「Sorry, I feel ill, would you hold these for me?」然後把東西通通交到他手上後趕緊蹲下,因為坐的是快線A Train,所以會跳過好幾站不停,我聽到很多聲音問著「Is she ok?」然後有個人蹲下來捏捏我的肩膀問我「Are you ok?」我搖搖頭,也不知道過了多久,車子停了,我感覺到有人把我撐起來,然後我想我又昏倒了幾秒鐘吧,視力恢復的時候坐在地鐵候車區的椅子上,這次的恩人是紐約客Dan,看著他手上提著我買的大包小包等我醒來的樣子,我覺得好尷尬。看了一下目前的位置,其實也已經快要到家,我跟Dan表示非常感激,我在這裡休息一會再回家,已經耽誤他很多時間,他可以不用等我了沒關係,沒想到沒耐心的紐約客裡也是有一些有耐心的,他問我要去哪一站,我告訴他就在沒幾站之後的163 ST,真的很近所以他可以先離開,但他還是堅持坐在旁邊等我狀況好轉,給我他的水喝,跟我聊聊天,一直到看著三個班次列車通過後,我覺得我有辦法回家了,上車前轉身給他一個擁抱說了很多個thank you,沒想到他跟著我上車了,上車後我忍不住問他要去哪一站,他回答163 ST,我滿臉疑惑的再三向他確認,他很肯定的說他是住那附近沒錯。
I don't know what I am supposed to do somtimes, just like this. I know maybe other people have it lots worse. I know, I do really know, but it's just crashing in anyway. I'd do anything not to think like that, but it's there, and it won't go away.
今天一早在看見廚房的迷你老鼠後,就馬上奔出門,拜訪位在紐約郊區Hasting on hudson的Peilin一家人,由於P是導演,老公是3D動畫製作SOHO,一家人都到齊了,我也很徹底的加入了他們的鄉村生活。這裡沒有紐約市區的煩躁,空氣非常好,房子也很漂亮,每戶人家都有煙囪、大庭院、特別是Peilin家還有一片竹林,中午吃過飯後,一起散步到森林裡感覺很棒,走累了回家就在院子裡BBQ,在這裡要做的就是呼吸新鮮空氣,吃吃東西,聊聊天,陪Jet丟球、盪鞦韆。
和Linda的約會非常豐富又愉快。我們先去了Jazz Gallery看一場非常有趣的爵士管樂樂團的表演,小喇叭和長號的solo相當令我驚豔,特別是小喇叭手吹奏時感覺真的很輕鬆,中場特別看了一下他們的嘴唇,真的都是薄薄的喔,然後我們真的很餓了,所以先落跑到西區第四街上sex and the city裡她們常常去吃的sushi samba用餐,和Linda的聊天很愉快,她會一點點中文,所以我們的談話裡夾雜中文和英文,雖然她和我一樣年紀,但感覺起來她似乎比我更大一些,也許是西方教育的關係吧?吃完飯本來想要去fat cats打打pin pon、一邊看live band表演,不過到門口時發現樓下實在太擁擠所以放棄了,到旁邊另一個人少一點的bar喝點飲料,看看時間已經一點半了,從bar離開的時候紐約又很不友善的開始飄雨,但路上依舊非常多人,經過連著兩家開在一起的刺青店,裡面還不少人正在排隊等著刺青,進了地鐵仍然非常熱鬧,所以告訴自己現在才十點,然後以非常放鬆的姿態漫步回家。
