The city in the morning is stale Forced to gulp down lonely conclusions, we’ll break apart as we decided The only manners-- “Don’t slack off” Saying repetitive things-- it’s so stupid it feels good The city at night is distant Drinking up together the midday lies, we’ll grow wild and forget The only manners-- “Don’t be so serious” Saying inside-out things-- it’s so miserable it feels good If you think it’s not fun, our characters don’t match up Yes, this is a city of lies yet truth Pure black morning Pure white night Oh! Because the present and our true motives are so greedy I choke then “I won’t blame other people” Those are the city manners |
Info: Ringo wrote the words and music to this song (arrangement: Tokyo Jihen), which was performed by Rie Tomosaka.
