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.
And I won't know what to do
Without you.
So I just sit back and watch
As the days turn into nights
Turn into weeks turn into years.
And the stars go 'round and
They cut the ground.
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...

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 (UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN)
Yeah, it's true (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....
