Lake Full of Urine

When I see the sunset, I feel lonely. When I see the stars, tears well up.

Into the lake full of urine, You and I jump together. The song we sing is the Wanderer’s Song, The dance we perform is a Bon Odori.

So, so— It doesn’t matter what—smash it to bits. It doesn’t matter what—expose it all.

When I hear the steam whistle, I recall memories. When I see a photograph, I long to return home.

On the bright red-dyed briefs, Support the gentle flowers. Then let’s talk about little drunken tales, Even the tears flow as blood tears.

So, so— It doesn’t matter what—smash it to bits. It doesn’t matter what—expose it all.

When I walk into the streets, I feel regret. When the wind blows, I remember.

In Tokyo, full of people, Let the flowers of resentment bloom. Then let’s run, all the way to the ends of hell. Next time I’m born, I’ll be a god.

So, so— It doesn’t matter what—smash it to bits. It doesn’t matter what—expose it all.
