This song reminds me a lot of Neko ni Fuusen. Perhaps it's just the circumstance and homelessness feeling of it all that rekindles that similar feeling.

Lyrics:
あっ痛ーい　ヒザ蹴り喰らった
aa itaai hizakeri kuratta
Oh, it hurts! having been kicked in the knee

目眩もくらっと　星のダンゴ
memai mo kuratto hoshi no tango
a flighty, a lightheaded feeling; a whirling sensation; a tango of the stars


終電車の真下　うるさい音で消された
shuudensha no mashita urusai oto de kesareta
under the last train, I had blotted out the annoying sounds

あっ痛ーい　誰にも聞こえない　星のダンゴ
aa itaai dare ni mo kikoenai hoshi no tango
oh my, it hurts! nobody can hear it; the tango of the stars


1人すわっちゃ
hitori suwaccha
having sat there alone

めげずにすわっちゃ
megezunisuwaccha
I wasn't disheartened

ホームレスおじさまとアイコンタクト
hoomu resu ojisama to aikontakuto
as I met eye-to-eye with the nearby homeless man


あっ痛ーい　心にくらった
aa itaai kokoro ni kuratta
oh, it aches! having taken it into my heart

まだ立てずにいた　満月のタンゴ
mada tatezu ni ita mangetsu no tango
and still been unable to stand; the tango of the full moon


あっ痛ーい　やけくそになった
aa itaai yakekuso ni natta
oh dear, it hurts. having fallen into a state of despair

ゴミ山にダイブ　さらに散らかした
gomiyama ni daibu sara ni chirakashita
a dive into the pile of trash, scatters it further


酔った　おっさんの街に
yotta ossan no machi ni
In the old drunken mens' town

チカチカするネオン全てが同じ
chikachika suru neon subete ga onaji
the flickering neon lights are all identical


何も考えちゃいない
nani mo kangaecha inai
not thinking about anything at all

何もするつもりない
nani mo suru tsumori nai
and with no intentions of doing anything at all

てきとー野良猫とアイコンタクト
tekitoo noraneko to aikontakuto
our eyes met; a suitable stray cat and I


あっ痛ーい　ちょっとだけ笑った
aa itaai chotto dake waratta
oh, ow. a brief smile crossed my face

おかしく思えた　自分の姿
okashiku omoeta jibun no sugata
as it struck me how strange my appearance was


あっ痛ーい　なんかを喰らった
aa itaai nanka wo kuratta
oh, the pain. the things I had taken (into myself)

忘れちゃいない　星のタンゴ
wasurechainai hoshi no tango
I'm unable to forget them; the tango of the stars
