about

1998 to 1999 I lived in Calgary. I volunteered at CJSW, I had 4 hour show called PolterZeitGeist, from midnight to 4am. Yes. I took the LRT always and on one of those trips I wrote this song.

lyrics

Video Noir


Listening to music in the early morning
Over walkman in a downtown train
Strip down all fassades
And the only happy faces remain
On the holiday ads
I even have to fight with tears
What is kind of ridiculous
Still I can’t focus a single face

In this early morning rear car
I direct my own
Video Noir

Construction workers after graveyard shift
In the train sleeping
In their working boots
Their cabs and jeans
And their late 40s
A teenie hooker on her way home
Changing her clothes
Lying between the seats
That nobody can see her

Passing motel rooms for sale
And a sign outside says
We sell rooms
The smile are free
And I still live with the hope
That I will have laughlines
When I am getting old
