lyrics

(instrumental, neon)

You stood up on the seventh and I stayed sitting down
That is the entire event, that is the whole story
Six laps of possibility and one lap of a decision
(a decision)
And the decision was mine and I made it by not moving

You waited at the door for two stops (two stops)
I counted. Of course I counted. I count everything.

The seventh lap
(seventh lap)
Where the loop line finally stopped being a loop
The seventh lap
You gave me six and I spent them all on nothing

I still take that line on Fridays, which is pathetic and true
Same time, same carriage, and I have never seen you once
Tokyo is thirty-seven million people and a very small city
(a very small city)
If you wanted to be found you would take the loop line

(saxophone solo, 8 bars)
Maybe you do take it. Maybe you're two carriages down.
That would be exactly like both of us.

The seventh lap
(seventh lap)
Where the loop line finally stopped being a loop
The seventh lap
You gave me six and I spent them all on nothing

(mamonaku...)
