A lady unsatisfied by boredom
Men who won’t take off their faded masks waiting to stand up from the table
Pride lost in front of the station
DJs controlling the frenzies of the nation
Educating ourselves with, “So I’m not any trouble”
Our teeth getting worn down from gritting them with, “Could you please pass the salt”
A lady of no satisfaction
Men whose open mouths overflow with complaints
A city with basically a slight fever
The capital of Japan is, yes, this very Tokyo
The uncertainty of existences our selves project to strangers
Is it intoxication to think fondly of the troubles we’ve observed?
Anyone’s fine
Now, strike-up
No one knows you, no one knows me. No one knows me

No one knows you, no one knows me. Expose your shame tonight
A lady unsatisfied by the arts
Men who no longer want manners alone to cause them to harden
The so-called adult ecstasy
The music we’re making now is what gets us off
Will and body are not linked up in remembering pleasure
The trick of sex appeal is simply maturity and skill and talent
There’s no manual
It’s showtime already
I don’t know you, you don’t know me. You don’t have a single connection to us
I don’t know you, you don’t know me. I want our paths to cross tonight
Really feels so good
Now, strike-up
Is this right? No. Is this wrong? No. I don’t want a single answer

Is this right? No. Is this left? No. Manage tonight
Oh, feels so good
Strike-up already
Is this right? Yes. Is this wrong? Yes. If you hesitate, I don’t want any of it

Is this right? Yes. Is this left? Yes. I want our paths to cross tonight
