Lyrics

I wanna play with you once
Are you a fragile baby?
If so, I throw you away after use

I don't know why I'm alone now
Why don't you play with me? Hey!
You can never refuse my asking

Everything has the spot to be broken away
I only know where it's hidden away
C'mon baby! C'mon baby!
Come into my hand
Oh, it's so easy to grip & break down!!

Let's get along, baby, I'm never insane
You must enjoy to play
this game more and more and more
Hey! How are you feeling?
It's funny, isn't it?
Never to be seen, the game!

Let's get along, baby, beautiful fireworks
You can never run away
because we're the friends
So, don't mind to be dead,
play the funny game, yeah!
Grip & break down! fireworks tonight

N'ak kode tihs ot tuyg
Uk oyr'o non odi et ur us la kah
Ow o nom ur uyar a ot ira

Grip & break down!!

Let's get along, baby, I'm never insane
You must enjoy to play
this game more and more and more
Hey! How are you feeling?
It's funny, isn't it?
Never to be seen, the game!

Let's get along, baby, beautiful fireworks
You can never run away
because we're the friends
So, don't mind to be dead,
play the funny game, yeah!
Grip & break down! fireworks tonight
