3. Matte Kudasai 

Still, by the window pane,
Pain, like the rain that's falling.
She waits in the air,
Matte Kudasai.
She sleeps in a chair
In her sad America.

When, when was the night so long,
Long, like the notes I'm sending.
She waits in the air,
Matte Kudasai.
She sleeps in a chair
In her sad America.

She waits in the air,
Matte Kudasai.
She sleeps in a chair
In her sad America.

4. Indiscipline 

I do remember one thing.
It took hours and hours but..
by the time I was done with it,
I was so involved, I didn't know what to think.
I carried it around with me for days and days..
playing little games
like not looking at it for a whole day
and then.. looking at it.
to see if I still liked it.
I did.

I repeat myself when under stress.
I repeat myself when under stress.
I repeat myself when under stress.
I repeat myself when under stress.
I repeat..
The more I look at it,
the more I like it.
I do think it's good.
The fact is..
no matter how closely I study it,
no matter how I take it apart,
no matter how I break it down,
It remains consistant.
I wish you were here to see it.

I like it.

5. Thela Hun Ginjeet 

Thela hun ginjeet thela hun ginjeet
Qua tari mei thela hun ginjeet
Qua tari mei heat in the jungle street

"well, first of all, I couldn't see his face...he was holding a gun
Against me and...um....i was thinking this is a dangerous place
Well, this is a dangerous place"

Thela hun ginjeet thela hun ginjeet
Qua tari mei thela hun ginjeet
Qua tari mei heat in the jungle street

"i say I'm nervous as hell from this thing 'cause those guys were
Gonna kill me for sure...i mean they ganged up on me like that,
I couldn't believe it! look I'm still shaking. it's weird.
Go out on the streets like this...you can't...dangerous place,
It's a dangerous place"

"so suddenly these two guys appear in front of me...stop...real
Aggressive...start at me, ya know, "what...what's that, what's that
On that tape, whata you got there," I said, "it's a tape,"

"whata you talkin' into that for? " I said, "it's just a tape, 'ya know,
They said, "well play it for us," I said, "oh no!" I put them off
As long as I could and finally they turned it on, ya know, they
Grabbed it from me, took it away from me, turned it on and it says,

"he held a gun in his hand; this is a dangerous place," they said, "what dangerous place, what gun-you a policeman!!" The deeper I talked the worse I got into it. I talk-i told "em I said, "look man, I'm not talk-," it went on forever, anyway, I finally Unbuttoned my shirt an said, "look, look, I'm in this band here, ya know, I'm in this band, ya know, and we're making a recording, ya know, It's just about new york city, it's about crime in the streets;" The explanation was goin' nowhere, but finally they just kinda let me go, I don't know why...so I walk around the corner, I'm shakin' like a leaf Now an' I thought this is a dangerous place once again, ya know... Who should appear but two policemen..."

Thela hun ginjeet thela hun ginjeet Thela hun ginjeet thela hun ginjeet "well this is a dangerous place...you know I could've been killed. Ya know, what really scary is when these guys gather around you and... The explanation that I had...i just, I just remember thinking This is a dangerous place to live..."
