This desert road's forever winding
It saps your strength - it has no exit

The drying wind
The burning sun
I'm tossing the burnt out engine aside

Nanimo nai sekai de
Doko e ikeba ii no ka?
Tsuyoi memai
Hebi no doku
It's bringing me down

My fever's getting high
Odoru shinigami all around and around me
Tsuki to taiyou wa it's a regular rat race, yeah
Temaneku oasis on the distant horizon
Shinkirou ka dou ka?
I'm feeling dizzy
I'm mesmerized

As I light my last cigarette
Divining my fate
Ano basho e
Iku beki ka?
Or turn away?

Kotae mo nai
My fever's getting high
Odoru shinigami all around and around me
Tsuki to taiyou wa it's a regular rat race, yeah
Temaneku oasis on the distant horizon
Shinkirou ka dou ka?
I'm feeling dizzy
I'm mesmerized

Memai ni dakare all around and around me
Hakai to souzou ga it's a regular rat race, yeah
Temaneku oasis on the distant horizon
Shinkirou ka dou ka?
I'm feeling dizzy
I'm getting mesmerized
