Lyrics

Game Size

Cracked cup and sooty pot
Sweet'n sweety coffee and tepid pie
Tickless clock show four AM
Silly TV says a pack of lies

Hungry cat and withered plant
Crumpled shirt and strained pants
Mailbox eats many junky foods
Neighbors quarrel about there border line

Don't be suffer alone I'll tell you what to do
Fly high...
I know what you're afraid about

Straighten up arms and keep on flapping like birds
Fly high...
To the place you have never ever seen before

Long Version

Cracked cup and sooty pot Sweet'n sweety coffee and tepid pie Tickless clock show four AM Silly TV says a pack of lies Hungry cat and withered plant Crumpled shirt and strained pants Mailbox eats many junky foods Neighbors quarrel about there border line Don't be suffer alone I'll tell you what to do Fly high... I know what you're afraid about Straighten up arms and keep on flapping like birds Fly high... To the place you have never ever seen before Slicker's lip and clumsy kiss Tedious song and childish game Many ants aim at candy box Gold fish is swimming around up side down Faithful dog and naughty kid Rousty bike and ragged shoes Noisy PC gives up tiny works Bookmark is keeping up the end of page Now, the time has come, don't throw away your memories Fly high... You should take courage and fly Straighten up arms and keep on flapping like birds Fly high... To the place you have never ever seen before

Song Production Information

Seiya Murai

This song is the result of HIRO asking me to make a Sana song that would fit her current image. And so for this tune I wrote English lyrics. I hoped Sana liked the song when she listened to the demo tape of the song, and she did, bringing color to the song even during its recording, finishing fairly quickly.

This is a song I could imagine listening to in a quiet room, when the soundtrack and the like come out, but it may not be a tune one could catch so easily in a game center full of loud sounds.
