Where is Key West --To a faceless phantom That night, you said you are rushing to Key West Holding the phone to my chest Every minute is as long as a journey to the moon You said you are going to see The most beautiful sunset You said you are going to rush, Cannot wait for me to finish my words Where is Key West? I had to put myself to sleep Sleeping pills, alcohol, books came to my rescue Brought me to the deep valley of dreams I was following a faceless phantom to Key West Where is Key West? I was climbing the icy globe, So cold, and suddenly so hot, I was sweating, I was climbing, Each attempt I made Each inch I struggled to climb up I slid back down to the burning equator Where is Key West? The globe is opened up through the equator I was holding the tip of Florida My feet are hanging in the air Alas, help, SOS Let me be there with you I am lost Where is Key West? Flying in the air In my mind is all about Key West On the pier of Melaka beach Talked about it when the stars were shining and the waves were whispering "Key West is the place to be, men" Chian puffed another cigarette 'just driving towards the sunset is heaven" he said it in the funniest Malay accent "you are color blind, how can you see the sunset" "I can smell it", he said. "The tip, the pearls, and orgasm. " "Key West is the place to be, men, This is the tenth time I said tonight You have to believe in your dream" He said. Then I rushed back home to search the map Oh, There is the Republic of Dreams Between the sea of clouds and the sea of unseen. Its citizens love youth, beauty, splendor, wisdom, generosity, music and the dance Everyone has to pass a poetic test to immigrate there Then they can get an authentic dreamland passport Are there mosquitoes in Key West Thousands of them And no man can rescue me from there Ai, Jack, just pick up your sword Kill those insects for me My blood is too sweet, they said Should I sell my blood and get a ticket to Key West?
