a man scrolls down the KGS he says
why am I thin in the middle now
why am I thin in the middle the
rest of my moyo is so gone
I need a new opportunity
I want a shot at redemption
I don't want to end up an 8k in an 8k graveyard
sandbaggers, sandbaggers
dogs in the screenlight
far away is my well lit room
mr escaper, escaper why
don't you just escape me now
you know, I don't find this stuff amusing anymore
if you'll be my igo-pal
I can be your sensei-ghost
I can call you Hikaru
and Hikaru, when you call me you can call me Sai
a man scrolls down the IGS he says
why am I short of liberties
got a short little span of attention but
whoa my nights are so long
where's my wife and my family
what if I die here
who'll be my new opponent now that my go buddy is
gone, gone
he ducked back down the alley with some
roly-poly little bat-faced girl
all along, along
there were incidents and accidents, there were
hints and allegations
if you'll be my igo-pal
I can be your sensei-ghost
I can call you Hikaru
and Hikaru, when you call me you can call me Sai
<whistle>
a man walks down the street it's a
street in a strange world
maybe it's in asia
maybe it's his first time around
doesn't speak the language he
holds no currency
he is a gaijin
he is surrounded by
go, go
wei-chi in the market place
pro-games and baduk schools
he looks around, around he sees
folding fans in peoples' hands
spinning in tengen he says
onegeishimasu
if you'll be my igo-pal
I can be your sensei-ghost
I can call you Hikaru
and Hikaru, when you call me you can caaall meee Saaaai
you can call me
