A cocktail slip
A cocktail slip
Cool and hip
Cool and hip
Lady killer
Lady killer
Big time dealer

いつものシックな夜だけが
Only the usual chic night
You can scream
You can scream
I'm the cream
I'm the cream
揺らめく灯り It's the Tokyo taste
Flickering lights, it's the Tokyo taste
物憂い今を振り返る
Looking back at this languid moment
I'm laced, can't stand the pace
I'm laced, can't stand the pace
Don't waste a case of the Tokyo taste
Don't waste a chance to savor the taste of Tokyo
飛びかう騒めき すり抜けネオン
Amidst the buzzing throng, I slip through neon lights
繰り返すいつもの夜
The same old night repeats again
そのままなら too good to waste up
If it stays just like that, it's too good to waste up
It's a fine flirt
It's a charming tease
Love so loose
Love so free
High class tramp
High class tramp
Foxy vamp
Foxy vamp
冷たい午後が過ぎた後に
After the cold afternoon has passed
You can scream
You can scream
I'm the cream
I'm the cream
煌めく灯り It's the Tokyo taste
Sparkling lights, it's the Tokyo taste
人の流れが眩しくて
The flow of people is dazzling
I'm laced, can't stand the pace
I'm laced, can't stand the pace
Don't waste a case of the Tokyo taste
Don't waste a case of the Tokyo taste
細い指先すり抜け言葉
Words slip through my slender fingers
持て余すいつもの夜
A familiar night I can't quite handle
このままなら too good to waste up
If it stays like this, too good to waste up
A cocktail slip
A cocktail slip
Cool and hip
Cool and hip
Lady killer
Lady killer
Big time dealer
Big time dealer
