Lyrics

Up Up Down Down 
Left Right Left Right 
B A Select Start

What if I were born again and my Zen 
Didn't kick me up a notch
I won't know what to do without you 
So I'll just sit back and watch as

Days turn into nights turn into weeks 
Turn into years
The stars go around 
And they cut the ground 
And the lights all disappear

No matter what I do, yeah it's true
I long to spend another 30 lives with you
Yeah I do, I'd love to spend 
Another 30 lives with you

Ba, Ba Ba Ba, Ba Ba Ba, Ba, Ba Ba, Ba, Ba Ba, Ba, Ba...

Up Up Down Down 
Left Right Left Right 
B A Select Start

Up Up Down Down 
Left Right Left Right 
B A Select Start

No matter what I do, yeah it's true (Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right)
I long to spend another 30 lives with you (B A Select Start)
Yeah I do, I'd love to spend 
Another 30 lives with you
