あやかしリップなお姫様
出会いの切符は夢見るあなたに

The lyrics of "Venus to Jesus" by Yakushimaru Etsuko are a surreal and dream-like tale of a chance encounter between the singer and their neighbors, Venus and Jesus. The opening lines depict the singer giving a kiss to the still-sleeping Venus, who is described as a princess with magical lips. The imagery suggests a fairy tale or a fantasy world where anything is possible. The second verse describes the singer's nervous anticipation before meeting Jesus and the excitement of his unexpected presence. The chorus repeats the names of the two neighbors and their proximity to the singer's own dwelling.
The third verse speaks of the singer's rejection of their own feelings towards Venus, which they describe as unpredictable and uncontrolled. The fourth verse refers to a bet made on Venus by a friend, leading to her knockout in three blinks. The lyrics make use of irony and unexpected twists to convey a sense of the absurd and the surreal. The chorus once again repeats the names of the neighbors and their proximity.
The final verse speaks of the singer's realization that they are running out of time, as the five minutes before class starts or the five minutes before going home represent precious moments of excitement and awakening. The closing line describes the night as a "Friday night", adding a sense of romantic or frivolous freedom to the proceedings. Overall, the surreal and playful nature of the lyrics suggests a whimsical and imaginative world where reality is constantly shaped and reshaped by the power of the mind.
