Playing cops and robbers 'neath Ginza signs All who chance to prosper shall go blind Won't you buy me a Ric to play What I got ain't enough to pay
I'll play a riff
Plug me into Marshall, I'll blow out your window And trip my way up to eternal heights RAT and I will lay down and shake out your eardrums A hit of this distortion makes me high
Hōshū wa nyūsha-go heikōsen de Tōkyō wa aisedo nani mo nai Ryōshū-sho o kaite chōdai Zeirishi nante tsuite inai kōrakuen
I'll rip into those robes and pursue the Dharma A Buddhist monk of my own would feel fine Selflessness and cessation get you Nirvana It Kurt would beat my Gretsch, I think I'd fly
Shōrai niku ni natte kekkon shite hoshī Maiban shingu de yūgi suru dake Piza-ya no kanojo ni natte mitai Soshitara benjī, atashi o guretchi de nagutte
I'm looking for a good way to fly I'm searching for a way you can't buy You know I know a kickin' way to die It's rock and roll, martyrs keep the fans high Still floating, as time rolls by
