Come, come, let's buy everything!
Let's buy the moon and beat a rhythm on it!
As we go along, the pouring rain—
let's ask its price and see!
Come, come, let's buy everything!
Let's buy the moon and beat a rhythm on it!
As we go along, the pouring rain—
let's ask its price and see!
We can buy the clouds and store them away,
wherever heaven is, we can go there,
aha, it can all be right in our hands,
we can even tuck the wind into our wallet!
We can buy the clouds and store them away,
wherever heaven is, we can go there,
aha, it can all be right in our hands,
we can even tuck the wind into our wallet!
Tucking flowers behind the ears of flowers,
we can wander through space with Andromeda!
Come, lightning, let's run and dance!
O life, you can live inside me!
...
Let's enjoy every single minute,
let's fly just like the birds!
It's pure fun, this brand new world,
money is for everyone here!
In the heart, like the River Nile,
there is a cool rush and swift flow!
The journey begins, but in the eyes,
why is there such a longing?
In the heart, like the River Nile,
there is a cool rush and swift flow!
The journey begins, but in the eyes,
why is there such a longing?
Today itself, our desires are finding a way, wow woah,
the road we take is not far away anymore, oh wow woah,
Oh oo wow woah... oo oo wow woah... oo oo oo
