eien no kurayami no naka wo

hoki-boshi kakenukete yuku no

andromeda fui ni hikatte

kiseki ga umareru zencho



eien no kurayami no kanata

mawaridasu video tape kara

itsuka yume mita oojisama ga

ai no kotoba wo sasayaku to



soo nisen-ichinen no kyo

cleopatra wa nemuri kara mezameru no

soo nisen-ichinen no kyo

uwaki na koi no hoshi ga

hitotsu umareru no

hello



ah daenkido kyo mo

mawari tsuzukeru

mujuryoku no satellite de

venus wa sukoshi taikutsu



eien no kurayami no kanata

gin iro no video tape no naka

itsuka deatta

playboy no kudokimonku ga

loop ni naru



soo nisen-ichinen no kyo

cleopatra wa nemuri kara mezameru no

soo nisen-ichinen no kyo

uwaki na koi no uwasa

hitotsu umareru no

goodbye

Andromeda suddenly shines

A miracle is born, a sign



In total darkness on the other side

From a rolling video tape

A king I sometimes dream of

the star of fickle love

is born alone

Hello



Ah, and today the orbits

Continue to turn

Venus is a little bored

of these weightless satellites



On the other side of perpetual darkness

On a silver video tape

The loving words of a playboy

I once met

Are being looped



And it's 2001 today

Cleopatra is sleepy so wake her up

And it's 2001 years today

the gossip of fickle l
