lyrics

We know you can’t think when the band’s this loud,
But we’re betting you could use the break.
A little night out to clear your mind of them
All day shakes and midnight snakes.

With your dried blood under her cracked deco nails
All smoking like a house on fire.
So push the work off the edge out your desk and come out
They can’t hold us with razor wire.

We’ve been wandering around this town,
Long lost poets of no renown.
I know you got a great mistake or two left in you.
Yeah you do.

So come on, live a little just to kill the pain.
Come on, just a little bit of Novocain tonight.

Now if you wake up still drunk, nowhere near a station
Face down in a bowl of rice,
That’s because the good times rolled and you got run over,
It was just a bad throw of the dice.

Now every passenger seat in Thousand Leaf City
Has her imprint still in place.
She said, “Dreams blossom at night,”
in the morning she’s gone without a trace.

大音量発信中
考え事しようなんて無理な話さ
この機を逃す手はないんじゃない？
今宵、すべてを吹き飛ばし、一晩中踊りませんか
ミッドナイトスネークスが付き合うぜ

彼女の妙薬を味わったことあるでしょう
「甘い蜜には毒がある」けどね
さあ、仕事を放り出し、出かけようぜ
僕らを邪魔するものは何にもないさ

町をちょっとぶらついてみなよ
日の目を見ない名もなき詩人があちこちに
誰にだって無茶苦茶したい時があるものさ
今がその時じゃない？

だからおいでよ、憂さ晴らしにちょっとだけ
今夜は味わおうぜ、彼女の妙薬をちょっとだけ

翌朝どっかの知らないところで目覚めてさ
二日酔いで超気持ち悪いんだけど
それってすっごく楽しんだって証拠じゃない？
やり過ぎだったかもしれないけどさ
まあ、ダイスが悪い方向に転がっちゃっただけさ
早朝のサウザンドリーフシティ線

乗客たちがいまだに彼女の余韻に浸ってたらさ
彼女が言ったんだ
「夢は夜ひらく」
そして跡形もなく消えていったんだ
