papparapara...

it pisses me off, this tough life
my heart ripped to shreds, a case of murder
tales of the old days get me going, teardrops fall

when I watch the mirrorball spin,
I mutter, "this isn't that way things should be"
the gang of zombies starts to dance

we kissed on the dancefloor aflame
that burning love is also a distant memory

papparapara...

got a bad head on my shoulders, cause I was born that way
hate to make any kind of effort, it's my bad luck
I can't live life always off my rocker, teardrops fall

I'm pretty sure my life's over, alone again in the dancehall today
a drunk, a flock of angels flying around my head

that day I met you on the dancefloor aflame
I devoted my burning passion to my Venus.

I worry so much about what's going on in this gloomy world
and the great big hole in the Ozone layer I can't sleep...
well no, not really.

everything's a joke, jokes in bad taste
a night when I get a little sentimental over sloppy steps

we kissed on the dancefloor aflame
that burning love is also a distant memory

papparapara...

Translator's Notes: The title of the song "Pappara" is the sound a horn makes (see: Gackt's "Papa lapped a pap lopped". It can also be indicative of insanity.

papparapara...

atama ni kuru ze shoppee jinsei
ha-to barabara satsujinjiken
mukashibanashi nya yatara namida porori

konna hazu jyanakatta to mawaru mira-bo-ru mitsumete
tsubuyakeba odoridasu zonbi no mure

moeagaru furoa- de futari kuchizuke shita ne
moeagaru ano koi mo tooi omoide

papparapara...

atama ga warui sore ha umaretsuki
doryoku ga kirai sore ga un no tsuki
papparapa- no mama jya ikirarenu namida porori

ore ha kitto owatteru kyou mo dansuho-ru de
nondakure tobimawaru tenshi no mure

moeagaru furoa- de kimi ni deatta ano hi
moeagaru jyounetsu wo sasagu bi-nasu

kurai sekaijyousei ya dekai ozonho-ru no koto ga
ki ni natte nemurenai sonna no uso

nanimokamo jyoudan sa tachi no warui jyoudan
mechakucha na suteppu ga sukoshi senchi na yoru

moeagaru furoa- de futari kuchizuke shita ne
moeagaru ano koi mo tooi omoide
