ALICE IN DEAD END

Damnit　Damnit　Damnit　Damnit

The Tokyo sky shows signs of cold, dark rain　A sorrowful rain will probably fall again today
The Tokyo sky shows signs of singing, ugly dreams　Candy will probably fall tomorrow1

I peer into a public restroom　A swinging, swaying chandelier
There's a small, bizarre showroom　A clock ticks backwards somewhere
I'd only peeked through the door　I meant no harm
The black roosters that can't fly see me and roll around in laughter

Damnit　Damnit　Damnit　Damnit

The Tokyo sky shows signs of cold, dark rain　A sorrowful rain will probably fall again today
The Tokyo sky shows signs of sweet, fleeting love　Frogs will probably fall tomorrow2

I peer into a public restroom　A swinging, swaying chandelier
There's a small, bizarre showroom　A clock ticks backwards somewhere
He's an extreme masochist,　the Mad Hatter
He stares at torture devices and begins solving obscure riddles

I remember　that rainy night　I remember　I was killed in the sound of the rain
I cried within the coffin　Liar...

The Tokyo rain heartlessly left me behind
I was buried beneath the night sky after being dragged around
I pretended to cover my ears　I hear everything in the lies
The sound of the second hand echoes　I can't even hear a love song

1 This is written the same way as the previous line, and is also a pun -- the words for "rain" and "candy" are spelled the same way in Japanese.

2 This is almost certainly a reference to (vocalist) Jojo's love for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure; in Part 6: Stone Ocean, one character has an ability which, at one point, makes it rain frogs. Further reading.

Chikushou　chikushou　chikushou　chikushou

Tokyo no sora wa kuroku tsumetai ama moyou　kyo mo kanashii ame ga furu deshou
Tokyo no yoru wa utau minikui yume moyou　asu wa ame ga furu deshou

Koushuu benjo wo nozoki komu　yurayura yureru shanderia
Soko wa kimyou na misemono koya　doko ka tokei wa gyaku ni mawaru
Tobira kara nozoiteta dake　betsu ni warugi wa nakatta no
Tobenai kuroi ondoritachi ga watashi wo mite warai korogeru

Chikushou　chikushou　chikushou　chikushou

Tokyo no sora wa kuroku tsumetai ama moyou　kyo mo kanashii ame ga furu deshou
Tokyo no yoru wa amaku hakanai koi moyou　asu wa kaeru ga furu deshou

Koushuu benjo wo nozoki komu　yurayura yureru shanderia
Soko wa kimyou na misemono koya　doko ka tokei wa gyaku ni mawaru
Kare wa kyokudo no mazohisuto　kichigai boushiyasan na no
Goumon kigu wo nagame nankai na nazonazo wo toki hajimeru

Oboete ru　ano ame no yoru　oboete ru　amaoto ni korosareru
Kan'oke no naka de naita no　usotsuki...

Tokyo no ame wa mujou de watashi wo oki sari ni shita no
Hikizuri mawasareta ato ni yozora no shita de uzumerareta no
Mimi wo fusagu furi wo shita no　subete uso ni kikoechau yo
Byoushin no oto ga hibiku no　ai no uta sae kikoenai yo

ALICE IN DEAD END

畜生　畜生　畜生　畜生

東京の空は黒く冷たい雨模様　今日も哀しい雨が降るでしょう
東京の夜は謳う醜い夢模様　明日は飴が降るでしょう

公衆便所を覗き込む　ゆらゆら揺れるシャンデリア
其処は奇妙な見世物小屋　何処か時計は逆に廻る
扉から覗いてただけ　別に悪気は無かったの
飛べない黒い雄鶏達が私を見て嗤い転げる

畜生　畜生　畜生　畜生

東京の空は黒く冷たい雨模様　今日も哀しい雨が降るでしょう
東京の夜は甘く儚い恋模様　明日は蛙が降るでしょう

公衆便所を覗き込む　ゆらゆら揺れるシャンデリア
其処は奇妙な見世物小屋　何処か時計は逆に廻る
彼は極度のマゾヒスト　キチガイ帽子屋さんなの
拷問器具を眺め難解な謎々を解き始める

憶えてる　あの雨の夜　憶えてる　雨音に殺される
棺桶の中で泣いたの　嘘吐き…

東京の雨は無情で私を置去りにしたの
引き摺り廻された後に夜空の下で埋められたの
耳を塞ぐ振りをしたの　全て嘘に聞こえちゃうよ
秒針の音が響くの　愛の歌さえ聞こえないよ
