Once Upon a Time in the City
(1) Rush to the early stage
Hangover last night
It's all the troubles of life and the reality of that bullshit
At five o'clock in the morning, it was black and brightened by the fire
Take the first subway to catch the high-speed train to BJ
Severe sleepiness and hunger
Already overwhelmed by an unreal psychedelic feeling
My mind fantasizes about holding my new lover's hand
Standing on a pavilion with a distant mountain
The breeze blows through my crotch
A comfortable and exhilarating feeling of looking at the sunrise
Ah, I'm fucking alive again
Cross the No. 1 line, which is very small
Walk through Chang'an Avenue on Sunday
There are more and more bored people
The wind is good, the brigade is long
Swim through thousands of troops
Listen to the legend of a group of Peking University Tsinghua medical masters
Hurried into the infield
Damn, this wind is stronger than Inner Mongolia
The boasting of his grandfather is about to die
The frequency of exhalation has already soaked the mask
I put on a new mask and touched my freshly grown beard
Fuck it
It turns out that youth has begun to sow seeds and bear fruit in me
(2) Small gatherings
Many years ago, I reunited with a few roommates in Tianjin
At that time, there was no epidemic
I think it's really enough of his X's magical realism
Listening to Ah Ming, who is already a doctor of Peking University, talk about the white-hot volume in one day
Stability turned out to be the common goal that everyone is seeking
I said I thought you were all saving the world
Liang Zai Lei and the prodigal son Ann have settled in the local area
What is valuable is that the amount of alcohol in Inner Mongolia is still there
Liang Zilei is already proficient in baking and raising flowers
The prodigal son Ann said that if he hadn't graduated early, he would have been a loose school
Except for Xuebaming, the current situation of our gang of bastards is not able to finish their studies at all
The light snow just fell and it was a little cold as sticking into the neck
It's cloudy, and the three places go their separate ways
On the way home, I smoked a popping Marlboro
Youth is passing
Time is flying
The smell of smoke and laughter have already blended into the journey
(3) Rain
The summer rainy season in HHHT always comes so quickly and so quickly
The weather in this northwestern city is really different from other cities in Inner Mongolia
On such rainy days, people don't often wear umbrellas
It is common for young people to run at night on rainy days
It is common to see heavily armed riders hurrying away in the rain with handsome golden retrievers
Remembering the past
Six years ago
It's that time of year in the city
It rained heavily that day
I didn't bring an umbrella with me after class
Watching my classmates go home one by one
As a day student, I'm used to staying an extra hour after school
But that day, it rained incessantly in the dry city
An hour later, the rain didn't stop
I had to pack up my books and ride my electric bike home in the rain
The dim streetlights blur with the water droplets
I can't see anything with my glasses
There are few pedestrians on the road
I can only pray that no car will hit me
The half-hour journey turned out to be a long day
My whole body was soaked in rain
The hair sticks to the head like a mess of seaweed
I guess there must be a lot of people talking about it on the road
This idiot must be sick
But no matter how stupid you are, you can't help it
I'm soaking wet, and I'm going home
At that time, it was really a down-and-out picture
Every time I went back to that city
Whenever it rains, I want to get caught in the rain
Don't care what others think
A rain
Give a round of applause to those who are drenched in the rain
Give a round of applause to your classmates who are suffering together
Give a round of applause to the girl you like
Give a round of applause to friends who are no longer in touch
Give yourself a round of applause
The world is big
How many days and nights are alone
The marks engraved on the back of the paper by the nib
Maybe it's no longer clear
At the moment when too much burning had to be extinguished
In all the moments of childhood when magic is lost
My dear
Come with me to the rain
Even though I don't belong to that city anymore
Even though all I have left for my totem is that license plate prefix
My dear
Come with me to the rain
