from [(an imitation) blood orange] album.

Let’s abandon our work for awhile
And just go somewhere faraway
Karuizawa, Hawaii, no, Everest
Let’s dream about the world for a second
Wow… Oh Wow
A cheer for myself!
Wow… Oh Wow
If you’re troubled, you can never begin
In this world that changes in the blink of an eye
We’re so cramped these days that we stand knee to knee
Shall we imitate the ones before us? Or the ones to the right?
Their honour roll student mode
But I believe
In the unchanging
Tune that always plays in my heart
Whenever I feel sad, this high-spirited
Happy Song, let’s sing it
The crowd passing me by
Directs these looks of pity at me
While stuffing popcorn into their faces with both hands
But let’s dash towards tomorrow
Wow… Oh Wow
A cheer for you!
Wow… Oh Wow
Don’t stop, just move forward
“I just want to live a relaxed life”
These days, such words are often spoken
Like a dog that can’t bark, birds without wings
A broadcasting code
But I believe
Never forgetting
The tune that plays in my heart even today
Holding hands with the lonely yesterday
Happy Song, let’s sing it
No matter what kind of future awaits
I need to go to see the scenery as it pans out
It’ll definitely be tedious and depressing
And crowded with new enemies, but
Come!
In this world that changes in the blink of an eye
We’re so cramped these days that we stand knee to knee
Shall we imitate the ones before us? Or the ones to the right?
Their honour roll student mode
But I believe
In the unchanging
Tune that always plays in my heart
Whenever I feel sad, this optimistic
Happy Song, let’s sing it
Holding hands with the lonely yesterday
Happy Song, let’s sing it

少しだけ仕事をほっぽって
もうどっか遠くに行こう
軽井沢 ハワイ いや エベレスト
世界中をひとしきり空想
Wow… Oh Wow
自分にエールを!
Wow… Oh Wow
悩んでたって始まりゃしねえぞ
目紛るしく変わっていく世界に
ちょっと足がすくんでしまいそうな近頃
まるで 前へ倣(なら)えの 右へ倣(なら)えの
優等生モード
でも I believe
相も変わらずに
いつだってこの胸に流れる
悲しいほどにハイテンションな
Happy Song を歌おうよ
通りすがりの人が
憐憫(れんびん)の表情を浮かべるも
両手に掴んだポップコーンを頬張って
明日へ駆けて行こう
Wow… Oh Wow
君にエールを!
Wow… Oh Wow
立ち止まってないで先に進もう
もう のんびりと生きていきたいなんて
ちょっと口にしてみたりする近頃
まるで 吠えない犬 羽のない鳥
ちゃんと放送コード
でも I believe
ずっと忘られずに
今日だってこの胸に流れる
寂しい昨日と手を繋いで
Happy Song を歌おうよ
どういう未来が待っていようとも
向こうの景色を僕は見に行かなくちゃ
きっとウンザリしたり凹んだり
新たな敵が道を塞いでても
さぁ!
目紛るしく変わっていく世界に
ちょっと足がすくんでしまいそうな近頃
まるで 前へ倣えの 右へ倣えの
優等生モード
でも I believe
相も変わらずに
いつだってこの胸に流れる
悲しいほどに脳天気な
Happy Song を歌おうよ
寂しい昨日と手を繋いで
Happy Song を歌おうよ
