Lyrics

Japanese

冷たい泉に　素足をひたして　見上げるスカイスクレイパー
好きな服を着てるだけ　悪いことしてないよ

金のハンドルで　街を飛びまわれ　楽しむことにくぎづけ
ブラウン管じゃわからない　景色が見たい

針がおりる瞬間の　胸の鼓動焼きつけろ
それは素敵なコレクション　もっともっと並べたい
眠たくっても　嫌われても　年をとっても　やめられない

ダイアモンドだね　AH AH　いくつかの場面
AH AH　うまく言えないけれど　宝物だよ
あの時感じた　AH AH　予感は本物
AH　今　私を動かしてる　そんな気持ち

Romaji

AH ima watashi wo ugoka shiteru sonna kimochi
