Lyrics
I drag the city late at night. It's in my mouth, it's in my hair. The people fill the city because The city fills the people, oh yeah. I cross the street, avoid the freeze - A city's warmer by a couple degrees. The smell of food. The smell of rain. I'm not immune - I love this tune. I wanna love more. There's a river in my head. I just wanna love more. There's a river in my head. I wanna love more. There's a river in my head. I just wanna love more. I wanna love more. I just wanna love more. I wanna love more. I just wanna love more.

Song Production Information
dj TAKA
EverythingButTheGirl is still unknown to many people in Japan, but worldwide he's a famous artist. This track is based on a loop with few phonetic materials, making an odd but very cool house track. You can see some BEMANI series in the videos, which you might have missed at first glance, so I point it out for you to find them again.
