Lyrics
Japanese
超天変地異みたいな狂騒にも慣れて こんな日常を平和と見間違う rambling coaster揺さぶられながら 見失えないものは何だ？ 平等性原理主義の概念に飲まれて 心までがまるでエトセトラ 大嫌い 大好き ちゃんと喋らなきゃ 人形とさして変わらないし 宵街を行く人だかりは 嬉しそうだったり 寂しそうだったり コントラストが五線譜を飛び回り 歌とリズムになる ママレード＆シュガーソング、ピーナッツ＆ビターステップ 甘くて苦くて目が回りそうです 南南西を目指してパーティを続けよう 世界中を驚かせてしまう夜になる I feel 上々 連鎖になってリフレクト ママレード＆シュガーソング、ピーナッツ＆ビターステップ 甘くて苦くて目が回りそうです 南南西を目指してパーティを続けよう 世界中を驚かせてしまう夜になる I feel 上々 連鎖になってリフレクト goes on 一興去って一難去ってまた一興
