[English]

One shot, one kill

Your straight, unwavering gaze shot right through me

Who's on your mind?

Who’s there now? In your heart

Tell me what you want, tell me what you want

Tell me what you want, tell me what you want

Why are you here? Tell me what you want, tell me what you want

This place doesn't suit you. Tell me what you want, tell me what you want

While lining up small glasses

Watching those guys acting cool

Oh, one shot, one kill

But with this, I can't get drunk tonight

What brings you here?

Who brought you here? To a place like this

If I can… I want to hold you in my arms

One shot, one more shot

The world is upside down now

No! No! Limits don't matter to me

Go! Go! Everybody, go!

But that girl is probably indifferent

Don’t ask if I care or not

I do care... I care so much!

Tell me what you want, tell me what you want

Tell me what you want, tell me what you want

I just casually started talking to you. Tell me what you want, tell me what you want

Asked what you'd like to drink. Tell me what you want, tell me what you want

Smiling, saying it’s okay to have the same thing

Quickly finishing their golden glass

Oh, one shot, one kill

That innocent smile got to me

Who's on your mind?

I stopped caring about that kind of thing

Don’t let me down

If this is a dream, don’t wake me up...

Tell me what you want

Tell me what you want

Hey, what do you want to do?

Unbelievable words, a serious situation

What’s going on? If possible, hold you tight

Otherwise, I’ll drink totally tonight

What happened after the party

It’s like my memory's nothing, baby

Before I knew it, I was alone on the bed

Damn! I’ve just fallen down

[Japanese]

One shot one kill

まっすぐな瞳がぼくを射抜いた

Who’s on your mind?

いま誰がいるんだ？君の心に

Tell me what you want, tell me what you want

Tell me what you want, tell me what you want

なぜ君はここにいるの？ tell me what you want, tell me what you want

こんな場所似合わないよ tell me what you want, tell me what you want

小さな空けたグラスを並べながら

それで粋がるヤツら見つめてる

Oh, one shot one kill

だけどこれじゃ今日は酔えやしないよ

What brings you here?

誰が連れて来たの？こんなところに

If, if I can...この腕に抱きしめたい

One shot, one more shot

もう世界は upside down

No! no! そう限界なんておれには関係ないさ

Go! go! everybody, go!

でもあの子はつれないきっと

キニナルカ？とか聞くなよな

気になるよ…めちゃ気になるよ！

Tell me what you want, tell me what you want

Tell me what you want, tell me what you want

なんとなく話しかけた tell me what you want, tell me what you want

なに飲むか尋ねてみた tell me what you want, tell me what you want

おんなじものでいいよと笑いながら

すぐに金のグラスを飲み干した

Oh, one shot one kill

むじゃきな微笑みにぼくはやられた

Who’s on your mind?

そんなことどうでもよくなっていた

Don’t let me down

夢ならば醒めないでよ…

Tell me what you want

Tell me what you want

ねえ、あなたはどうしたい？

まさかのセリフ　非常事態

そりゃなんだ　できれば hold you tight

じゃなきゃ徹底的に drink tonight

どうなったんだ after the party

まるで記憶が nothing, baby

気づけばひとりで on the bed

Damn! I’ve just fallen down
