1.The sun, the moon, the earth, a universe motel—could it all be gravity, attraction?
2.Sleeping, waking, eating meals—is that how we travel through time?
3.Snowfields, grasslands, peat bog plains, typhoons, tornadoes, construction zones,
4.City-states, bicycles, JR lines, metro systems—is that the endless cycle turning?5.
6.Love, romance, adolescence—what does any of it mean?
7.If there were answers, wouldn’t that make it all kind of boring?8.
9.Do we seek absolute declarations, to feel safe and secure?
10.In the narrow confines of a one-room space, unable to figure it out, I grabbed a guitar and ran away.11.
12.Creating something with someone, creating with someone! A song was born.
13.Someone will listen, someone will laugh—that’s just how the cycle goes.14.
15.Cheers!!16.
17.Sing, dance, all of us—
18.After all, there are no humans here, not a single one.
19.Spit it out, collapse, all of us—
20.After all, no one here is watching you.21.
22.I’m…
23.Good for nothing, good for nothing, good for nothing, good for nothing,
24.Good for nothing, good for nothing, just a worthless human.
25.Good for nothing, good for nothing, good for nothing, good for nothing,
26.Good for nothing, good for nothing, and not even rock ‘n’ roll.
27.Still, listen to this song—can you hear it?
28.This one, that one, all of them, all of them—you can hear them all.
29.Let’s hold on to them, keep them close.
30.Someday, somewhere, you might want to hear them again—
31.I hope so.32.
33.Should I go to the sun or the moon? Which would be better?
34.Or maybe it’s best to stay here on Earth, living lazily and aimlessly, drifting through life…
35.But even so, staying put, holding my breath,
36.Living like this is so unbearably painful.37.
38.For now,
39.Sing, dance, all of us—
40.After all, there are no humans here, not a single one.
41.Collapse, fall to the ground, all of us—
42.Until the day we can paint pictures of love and romance.
