No Longer Human

No Longer Human (人間失格, Ningen Shikkaku) is a 1948 Japanese novel by Osamu Dazai. It is considered Dazai's masterpiece and ranks as the second-best selling novel ever in Japan, behind Natsume Sōseki's Kokoro.

Panic rose up my spine, like a poorly planned acid test
Everything was different, when I got home to rest
Dreamt of my piano, but my fingers couldn't play
Seems like we'd give it our all, but we were fired yesterday

Small town, small town blues
Spent all day thinking about you

When I woke up, you were on the balcony
You handed me a cigarette, and when I went to light it
I found that it was soaking wet

Reminds me of the train ride I went on last fall
Moved for eighteen hours, didn't get anywhere at all
Didn't get anywhere at all
Didn't get anywhere at all

Small town, small town blues
Spent all day thinking about you
Small town, small town blues
Spent all day thinking about you

Your voice in the crowd, wow, oh, wow, oh, wow

I dreamt of my piano, but my fingers couldn't play
Seems like we'd give it our all, but we were fired yesterday

Small town, small town blues
Spent all day thinking about you
And I closed up my spine, like a poorly planned out sail class

Everything was different when I got home to rest
I dreamt of my piano, but my fingers couldn't play
Seems like we'd give it our all, but we were fired yesterday
Reminds me of the train ride I went on last fall
Rode for eighteen hours, didn't get anywhere, anywhere at all
