Sunrising Sake Blues.  Hirai & Okunbor 2017. 
Early in the morning
Moon is hanging low.
It's 6 o clock in the morning
City's lost its neon glow.

Running the sidewalk
Stumble in midnight shoes
Got them....I feel them
I'm down with the Sunrise Sake Blues.

I was holed-up half the night
In some ole Habushu bar.
Drinkin until the daylight
Snakey voodoo jars.

Now I'm dizzy on the sidewalk
Sparkling Sake Flu.
Feel them....I got them
I'm down with the Sunrising Sake Blues.

Well the crowd got kinda tricky
When I raised my glass in toast
Cryin "Ikki Ikki! Down it!
Let's see who can drink the most."

"Kanpai!"

Lord it's early in the morning.
City's lost that magic glow.

Trippin' the sidewalk,
Broken midnight shoes
I got them....I feel them,
I'm cut down by the
Sunrise and the Sake Blues.

Sunrising Sake Blues
