考えすぎてしまうんだ一人きりになるといつも
コーヒーを飲みすぎたようにいつまでも眠れない

おいてけぼりだなんて思わなけりゃいい
あの娘が今ごろどうしてるかなんて
そんなのはもうええじゃないか

セブンスヘブンただ歓びなさい

キョロキョロしてるひまはないよたぶん
身分の区分忘れ光浴びなさい
サダメを変えてくのはオマエの気分
どうなろうと life goes on

サイズの合わないブーツで踊り続けてるような
何かにふりまわされて損してるような気がする

なんだかんだでコンフュージョン
早い話がイマジネーション
素敵な楽園を描けばそこからはじまる

セブンスヘブンただ歓びなさい
キョロキョロしてるひまはないよたぶん
身分の区分忘れ光浴びなさい
サダメを変えてくのはオマエの気分
どうなろうと life goes on

自分をイヤになるその自分がイヤ
そんなキリのない反省はここではなしよ

セブンスヘブンただ歓びなさい
キョロキョロしてるひまはないよたぶん
身分の区分忘れ光浴びなさい
サダメを変えてくのはオマエの気分

セブンスヘブンぱっとすべて見せなさい
解き放ってやればいい大事なその部分

どうなろうと life goes on
泣いたって笑ったって
