Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ため息をひとつついた
Lightin'Billboard Setupは
ロックンロール
そうフィルムの 街角に憧れて
そう 毎日 飽きもせず
ビデオを見てるよ
繰り返す四角い世界は
もう過去のものだけど
いつも Videoshopへ 今日もまた
歩いていく
Popshopartより
私にはゴキゲンなもの
モニターの彼女はスター
屋根の上 一人歌う
Hotplace のら犬も
この街じゃ ラッキー･スター
そう フィルムの
彼女に 会いたくて
そう 毎日 くたびれた
ビデオを見てるよ
逃げていく 時間を 巻き戻し
止まるのは 自分の性格よ だけど
外を見るの
わるくないはず だから
Hurryup! 行ってみる
そう あの街ヘ ダウンタウンヘ
Hurryup! 行ってみて
確かめる ビック･アップルを
いつも ビデオ･ショップヘ
今日でもう おしまい きっと
Circling Times Square
明日から いかない きっと
