Cheers for Tears (Baby Keiko)

The fellows never give any shit to you
even less to little Keiko
they, never wanna give their ear
they just wanna hear you laugh and loud
the laugh that made us blind
made you blinded by the gimmick
they wanna see you down
and than
you take a bottle of Jack
sucking the fire, and blow it arrogantly
cheers the glass, swallow the Jack
While the little Keiko
swallow the streaming down tears on her cheek
with bed become her witness
waiting for the open door sound
waiting for the good night kiss
but the night's too late, she missed the kiss
coz she'll not home tonight
she'll home at dawn with no straight line walk
and she'll sleep on the couch
and the little Keiko's to tired to wake up
she've been waiting all night long
just for the lullaby kiss
and again
Keiko not kissed.


The mom's laughing
the mom's take a glass of tequila
sleeping child crying
swallow her tears on her little bed
waiting for her mom to open the door
and mom's home drunk
the light in the bar got blinded her
but the light in the baby's room
keep Keiko's eyes on
Keiko can't say, she can't make a word yet
so does the mom
no word even she could

the night's going late
dawn's waiting just at the corner of east
so does Keiko
waiting for mom's right behind the window
