**** ***** ****

Just four hours of sleep,
My dreams short, messy, and deep,
I realize I am no longer young
       The effort draining me, taking its toll

The tiny hotel room stinks of smoke,
My back, my feet, all feeling broke
Cables tangled, chargers hanging down
       The batteries, not me, ready for another day in the town

But I have to go. 
        Damn, it's one o'clock
I have to reach the spot
        I am late, fuck
The sun's running around the sky 
        Yeah, I know, it's the Earth
As I arrive to my turf
        As I arrive to my turf

Omotesando, what a fucking mess,
People running, hiding the stress,
Someone smiles, but I bet it's a lie
        Nodding courteously since I've been staring for a while

But I need to feel the flow,
I need to take it slow.
As the shadow comes down with its cloack
I start running, chasing those fucking light spots

And I have to stay
       Damn, the pain in my back
I need just another shot
       Just another one
I don't care if I annoy you 
       Hiding it with a smile
But this turf is mine

Man, have you seen this light?
You can't enjoy it just with eyes,
Tracking shapes and movement like a sleuth
Only a narrow-timed shutter can reveal the truth

And the truth is that you seem alone,
Each head in the crowd, a world on its own,
At least that's what my camera sees,
Despite you, she never lies to me.

I have to stay
        Damn, my back
Just another shot 
       Just one, fuck
While I see you approaching 
       With your dress so white
For a shutter-time 
       you're going to be mine
you're going to be mine
       you're going to be mine
you're going to be mine
       you're going to be mine
you're going to be...

たった4時間の睡眠、  
夢は短く、乱れていて、深い  
もう若くないと気づく  
       努力が俺を消耗させ、代償を払わせる

狭いホテルの部屋は煙草臭くて、  
背中も足も、全部が壊れたように感じる  
ケーブルが絡まり、充電器がぶら下がってる  
       バッテリーは、俺じゃなくて、街での新しい一日に備えてる

でも行かなきゃ。  
        くそっ、もう1時だ  
目的地に着かないと  
        遅れてる、くそっ  
太陽が空を駆け回ってる  
        そうだよ、地球が動いてるんだ  
俺の縄張りに着く  
        俺の縄張りに着く

表参道、なんてめちゃくちゃな場所だ  
人々は走り、ストレスを隠してる  
誰かが微笑む、でも嘘だと思う  
        俺がずっと見てたから、礼儀でうなずいてるだけ

でも流れを感じたい  
ゆっくりと進みたい  
影がマントをまとって降りてくるとき  
俺は走り出す、あの光の点を追いかけて

そしてここにいなきゃ  
       くそっ、背中が痛い  
もう一枚だけ撮りたい  
       もう一枚だけ  
迷惑でも気にしない  
       微笑みで隠してるけど  
この場所は俺のものだ

なあ、この光見たか？  
目だけじゃ楽しめない  
形と動きを探る探偵のように  
真実を映すのは、限られたシャッタータイムだけ

そして真実は、お前が孤独に見えるってこと  
群衆の頭一つ一つが、それぞれの世界  
少なくとも、俺のカメラにはそう映る  
彼女は、俺に嘘をつかない

ここにいなきゃ  
        くそっ、背中が痛い  
もう一枚だけ  
       一枚だけ、くそっ  
お前が近づいてくるのが見える  
       真っ白なドレスを着て  
シャッタータイムの間だけ  
       お前は俺のものになる  
お前は俺のものになる  
       お前は俺のものになる  
お前は俺のものになる  
       お前は俺のものになる  
お前は俺の…
