*** Hananusubito **** Let me tell you about the Latency A club like few others in this fucked-up City A relic from the past a rose stained with blood Red on red from star to mud In '72 it was just a brothel The Mistress my sis an old-school whore model Wasn’t much more than a low-rate show 'til Hiro showed up and Eddies started to flow This is a love story the one of my kind Where the princess ain't pure and Cupid is blind Where the knight had sidekicks covered in chrome Bringing a flower and a batch of fresh whores When they met at the club there was no attraction He gave her a red rose all talk, no action She didn’t trust him and she was right He was just scouting for his next heist Next morning early he stole her client list No sign of effraction nothing seemed missed But where she’d put it just the night before The glass was empty and the rose was no more This is a love story the one of my kind Where the princess ain't pure and Cupid is blind Where the knight had sidekicks covered in chrome Bringing a flower and a batch of fresh whores Hero found her the same evening In front of his flat lying and bleeding She came for an answer but fell on death's brim She’d crossed a hitman meant to kill him He saved her life and it's easy to guess Their paths became one in love and in mess Elizabeth and Hero q Hiroshi and Liz Partners and accomplices in life and in biz The Latency grew / rising to the top Flesh and dreams / spiced with drugs On a flashy menu / new girls and experiences To enjoy for real / or just through braindances This is a love story the one of my kind Where the princess ain't pure and Cupid is blind Where the knight had sidekicks covered in chrome Bringing a flower and a batch of fresh whores Not a proper fable but all things considered It was good enough except for how it ended After all, it's NC / the conclusion is grim: She'd crossed a bomb / meant to kill him He buried her body the bits that remained And spent days immersed in her life saved In tons of braindances and an idea came along But that's another story meant for another song This is a love story one from NC Go ahead, people there's nothing to see It's just a knight with a rose made by dust Realizing that sometimes loving is just a bust The Latency kept growin' / rising to the top Flesh and dreams / spiced with drugs But hollow was the success / until one day Someone decided / to swipe it away And they all burned / pimps and whores In screaming and smoke / an initiation rite Led by Adam the Beast / for his new minion A hero's friends / meant to become Adam Junior (はなぬすみ ) (しょうふのむねに ) (あいがさく)
