BOØWY Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

ほんの3秒前に頭の中の
Noise Limitterは Broken
奴らの声がぐるぐるぐる回り出す

Hey Little Boy あくせくとやりなよ
人生なんてこんなもの
そろそろオマエも気づくはずサ ······

Ooh Let's Think
いつまで夢見てる
Ooh Let's Think
いつまではしゃいでる
Ooh Let's Think
Because I Lost My Dream
やめてくれ!!

You Very Noisy
Stop Stop Stop Stop Stop it
You Very Noisy
Shout Shout Shout Shout Shout up
It's just A Only Lonely Night

Baby ベタついたオマエのセリフに
Noise Limitterが Broken
リアルな言葉に堕ちてゆく

My Darlin' あくせくとやってネ
ダイヤモンドにミンクのコート
フラフラになってるひまもない

Ooh Let's Think
もっともっともっと幸せに
Ooh Let's Think
お願いなれるはず
Ooh Let's Think
Because I Lost My Love
やめてくれ

You Very Noisy
Stop Stop Stop Stop Stop it
You Very Noisy
Shout Shout Shout Shout Shout up
You Very Noisy

Stop Stop Stop Stop Stop it
It's just A Only Lonely Night
