Kokoku
I come
Very briefly
To this place
I watch it move
I watch it shake
Kumowaku yamano
Watashino sakebi
Watashino koewo
Ushano kokoku
Watashiwa sokoni
Watashiwa asobu
They say the dead
Will rise again
And here they come now
Strange animals
Out of the Ice Age
And they stare at you
Dumbfounded
Like big mistakes
And we say, keep cool
Maybe if we pretend this never happened
They'll all just go away
Watashiwa sokoni
Watashiwa asobu
Mewotoji
And yet
Matoji
Kikunowa
We could all be
Kotori
Watashino sakebi
Watashino
Wouldn't be the first time
Koewo
Kumowaku yamano
Watashiwa sokoni
Watashiwa asobu
Kumiwaku yamano
Kikunowa kotori
Watashino sakebi
They say
The world is smaller now
Small world
They say that man
Is taller now
Tall man
They say the stars
Are closer now
Thank
Lucky stars
You come
Very briefly
To this place
And on a very distant star
Slimy creatures scan the skies
They've got plates for hands
And telescopes for eyes
And they say: Look down there
A haunted planet spinning around
They say
Watch it move
Watch it shake
Watch it turn
And shake
And we say
Watch us move
Watch us shake
We're so pretty
We're so pretty
We say
Watch us move now
Watch us shake
We're so pretty
Shake our hands
Shake our heads
We shake our feet
We're so fine
The way we move
The way we shake
We're so nice
Very briefly
To this place
I watch it move
I watch it shake
Kumowaku yamano
Watashino sakebi
Watashino koewo
Ushano kokoku
Watashiwa sokoni
Watashiwa asobu
They say the dead
Will rise again
And here they come now
Strange animals
Out of the Ice Age
And they stare at you
Dumbfounded
Like big mistakes
And we say, keep cool
Maybe if we pretend this never happened
They'll all just go away
Watashiwa sokoni
Watashiwa asobu
Mewotoji
And yet
Matoji
Kikunowa
We could all be
Kotori
Watashino sakebi
Watashino
Wouldn't be the first time
Koewo
Kumowaku yamano
Watashiwa sokoni
Watashiwa asobu
Kumiwaku yamano
Kikunowa kotori
Watashino sakebi
They say
The world is smaller now
Small world
They say that man
Is taller now
Tall man
They say the stars

Thank

Slimy creatures scan the skies

And they say: Look down there

They say

Watch it shake
Watch it turn
And shake
And we say
Watch us move
Watch us shake
We're so pretty
We're so pretty
We say
Watch us move now
Watch us shake
We're so pretty
Shake our hands
Shake our heads
We shake our feet
We're so fine
The way we move
The way we shake
We're so nice
