Lyrics

Kafka On The Shore

A one way ticket on a train
You won’t be coming back again
Leave the war behind you
This is not your fight
It’ll soon be over
Two wrongs don’t make it right

Sometimes you feel like a superhero
Other times you’re a villain on the run
Feeling stronger every day
Still you long for something more
And so you rise like Kafka on the shore

There is no one left to blame
So you hide away in your sanctuary
See the world that you live in
Through the eyes of a child
And the world will be your oyster
For awhile

Sometimes you feel like a superhero
Other times you’re a villain on the run
Feeling stronger every day
Still you long for something more
And so you rise like Kafka on the shore

You keep your memories in a box
And they say
Time heals old wounds
And they say
Time heals everything
And they say
War is over, you’re stronger than before
And they say
Just like Kafka on the shore
And they say
Sometimes you feel like a superhero
And they say
Other times you’re a villain on the run
Feeling stronger every day
Still you long for something more
And so you rise like Kafka on the shore
