DAKOOKA Lyrics

Here I said, I would like to forget
All my body is beat
All my body is beat
All my body is beat

Here I've said, I would like to forget it
I know, all my body is beat
Here I said, I would like to forget it

I know, all my body...
Physical, you moving fast
You are a December guest
In my dreams I'll see you creep
I wish, I wish you fall in

Here I've said, I would like to forget
All my body is beat
All my body is beat
All my body is beat
Here I've said, I would like to forget it
All my body is beat
Here I've said, I would like to forget it (forget it)
All my body is beat

Physical, you moving fast
You are a December guest
In my dreams I'll see you creep
I wish, I wish you fall in

Here I've said, I would like to forget
All my body is beat
All my body is beat
All my body is beat
Here I've said, I would like to forget
All my body is beat
All my body is beat
All my body is beat
