安定くだらねえ
停滞なら衰退です
最善は最前線を

墓場までタリラリラ
能書き垂れラップして候
So long そうな道も
あっという間に冥界です oh

見たい見たい未体
ドラ崖っぷちの絶景を
安定ならどうぞ
不安は質に入っちゃって oh

行きたい生きた気体
ズルトラップカードインフレも
極刑でもどうぞ
覚悟はとうにできちゃってる oh

情緒・趣・粋・筋・義理
デリートしたら
薄くて酔えやしねえの

飲んで飲まれて
本気で世界に酔えよ
分かっている風は oh oh

「バレるぞ」

期待したい未来
でら修羅道の借景も
脅迫ならどうぞ
退路ならもう絶っちゃってる

見たい見たい未体
ドラ崖っぷちの絶景を
安定ならどうぞ
不安は質に入っちゃって oh

行きたい行きたい行きたい
飲めよ無形も有形も

極刑でもどうぞ
覚悟はとうにできちゃってる oh
