[English]

Stay tune in 東京 Friday night

Oh Good time 癒えない like The "Dead rising" soon

どこを探しても見つからない

俺の目をかわす Good girl

風船ばっか見飽きたよ

うんざりだもう

I always searching for a piece so long time

襲ってくる 屍の Bad girl

偶然なんか待てないよ

うんざりだもう

ブランド着てるやつ もう Good night

Mで待ってるやつ もう Good night

頭だけ良いやつ もう Good night

広くて浅いやつ もう Good night

23 Haunted now the time

"SAT" Scramble comin'

Somebody to love 澄ましても見つからない

足音立てない Good girl

名言ばっか聞き飽きたよ

うんざりだもう

Sexy な Mouth をほころばせて

Peace な話を聞かせて

Cool な視線で見つめて

一度だけ俺を試して

ブランド着てるやつ もう Good night

Mで待ってるやつ もう Good night

頭だけ良いやつ もう Good night

広くて浅いやつ もう Good night

Stay tune in 東京 Friday night

Oh Good time 癒えない like The "Dead rising" soon

23 Haunted now the time

"SAT" Scramble comin'
