[English]

I've gotten better at nodding along

Yeah, you're doing well, you're doing fine

Ah, you're really good too

You attacked without warning

Not bad, not bad at all

Oh, is it okay now?

Stay, stay here with me

Show me that fake smile, come on, show me

Do you feel like you have cancer stage 4?

Isn't it a love that crosses generations?

When Tokyo Flash opens your eyes

Where will we go, I don't even know

Holding hands with Tokyo Flash

Where will we go, I don't even know

Tokyo Flash

...

Loving on the edge of a sheer cliff

Yeah, you're doing well, you're doing fine

Ah, today is so deep again

It's a fragmented, simple story

Not bad, not bad at all

Oh, it's okay now

Stay, stay here with me

Show me that fake smile, come on, show me

Do you feel like you have cancer stage 4?

Isn't it a love that crosses ages?

When Tokyo Flash opens your eyes

Where will we go, I don't even know

Holding hands with Tokyo Flash

Where will we go, I don't even know

Tokyo Flash

Should we just stop now? That's what I think, but

Your smile and your gestures, see, they've become a habit

When Tokyo Flash opens your eyes

Where will we go, I don't even know

Holding hands with Tokyo Flash

Where will we go, I don't even know

When Tokyo Flash opens your eyes

Where will we go, I don't even know

Holding hands with Tokyo Flash

Where will we go, I don't even know

Tokyo Flash

...

相槌が上手くなったんだ

できてるできてる

あぁ君もうまいね

合図なしで攻撃してきたんだ

悪くない悪くない

あぁもういいのかい？

Stay まだここにいてね君の

Fake の笑顔を見せてよ見せてよね

Stage 4の癌にかかってるみたいかい

Age 越しの性愛じゃないの

東京フラッシュ君の目が覚めたら

何処へ行こう 何処へ行こうかわらないよ

東京フラッシュ君と手を繋いだら

何処へ行こう 何処へ行こうかわらないよ

東京フラッシュ

断崖絶壁で愛してた

できてるできてる

あぁ今日も深いね

断片的で単純ストーリーだ

悪くない悪くない

あぁもういいよ

Stay まだここにいてね君の

Fake の笑顔を見せてよ見せてよね

Stage 4の癌にかかってるみたいかい

Age 越しの性愛じゃないの

東京フラッシュ君の目が覚めたら

何処へ行こう 何処へ行こうかわらないよ

東京フラッシュ君と手を繋いだら

何処へ行こう 何処へ行こうかわらないよ

東京フラッシュ

もう止めにしようかなんて思うんだでも

君の笑顔や仕草がまたほら、癖になってんだ

東京フラッシュ君の目が覚めたら

何処へ行こう 何処へ行こうかわらないよ

東京フラッシュ君と手を繋いだら

何処へ行こう 何処へ行こうかわらないよ

東京フラッシュ君の目が覚めたら

何処へ行こう 何処へ行こうかわらないよ

東京フラッシュ君と手を繋いだら

何処へ行こう 何処へ行こうかわらないよ
