Gotta Knock a Little Harder is a song recorded by the Seatbelts for Cowboy Bebop included on the album Future Blues. It is sung by Mai Yamane, and is one of the few songs sung entirely in English by Yamane
The song featured as Jet Black and Faye Valentine flew over Alba City as their plan to distribute the vaccine was successful, and as the confused citizens wondered why it was raining before the credits roll.[1]
Lyrics[]
Happiness is just a word to me
And it might've meant a thing or two
If I had known the difference
Emptiness, a lonely parody
And my life, another smokin' gun
A sign of my indifference
Always keepin' safe inside
Where no one ever had a chance
To penetrate a break in
Let me tell you some have tried
But I would slam the door so tight
That they could never get in
Kept my cool under a lock and key And I never shed a tear Another sign of my condition
Fear of love of bitter vanity That kept me on the run The main events at my confession
I kept a chain upon my door That would shake the shame of Cain Into a blind submission
The burning ghost without a name Was still calling all the same But I just won't listen
The longer I'd stall
The further I'd crawl
The further I'd crawl
The harder I'd fall
I was crawling into the fire
The more that I saw
The further I'd fall
The further I'd fall
The lower I'd crawl
I kept falling into the fire
