The Melancholy of Kingsnake

Lyrics & Composition: Kazutoshi Sakurai

My brain's stress-free
Just like ice cream
I'm so bored I'm starting to melt away

A consumer device for everyday use
Nothing worth mentioning
Without even a weapon to be proud about

Now then, what will happen?
Now then, at tonight's GREAT SHOW

That girl's so delicate
Just like a sponge cake
she's so light
and smooth on the tongue

Letting my inflated
expectations soar
I end up choking on my own spit

Now then, what should I do?
Now then, I'll go pick you up

Pour all your melancholy
into your voice - weh eh oh
and let it out

Not even realizing
a huge kingsnake
lives inside my heart

To raise an objection
to modest you
I'll try firing off warning shots

Now then, do you get the idea now?
Now then, I suppose I'll show you

Stop your habit of hitting
the brakes so easily - weh eh oh
and start moving!
Cover up today's hard times
with laughter - weh eh oh
and start dancing
Release the proof
you're alive - weh eh oh
along with your soul

Kingsnake no Yuuutsu

Sakushi & Sakkyoku: Sakurai Kazutoshi

Noumiso wa sutoresu furii
Marude aisukuriimu
Taikutsu de tokedashite shimau

Fudanzukai no minseiki
Tokuhitsubeki
Hokoreru buki wo motsu demo nai

Saa nani ga okoru deshou?
Saa kon'ya no GREAT SHOW

Ano ko wa derikeeto
Marude suponji keeki
Mitai ni fuwafuwa de
Kuchiatari yoshi

Juubun ni hidai shita
Kitai wo fukuramashi
Jibun no daeki de sekikonde shimau

Saa nani wo subeki deshou
Saa kimi wo mukae ni ikou

Issai no yuuutsu wo
Sono koe ni nosete weh eh oh
Hakidase

Kokoro no naka ni
Kyodai na kingusuneeku
Sunderu koto ni kizuki mo sezu

Gokenson no kimi ni
Igi tonaeru beku
Ikaku ransha nanka shite miru no desu

Saa mou owakari deshou?
Saa jaa omisesuru to shiyou

Kantan ni bureeki wo
Fumu kuse wo yamete weh eh oh
Ugokidase!
Kyou no fukeiki wo
Waraigoe de futa shite weh eh oh
Odoridase
Ikiteru akashi wo
Tamashii to tomo ni weh eh oh
Tokihanate
