Lyrics
0:00おとなの掟 (成人的法则) - 椎名林檎 (しいな りんご)
0:00Sighs in the blackest black abiding
0:05As soon as one dies one is rising
0:11With the night so dark and cold
0:13The wishes I make are swallowed up and hidden away
0:22Breath of the whitest white is
0:26What I most with to say down deep now inside
0:33Can a voice so numb and cold have some song to sing
0:38It could be false or reality
0:44The things I like or hate or things I want to gain
0:50Whatever's feeling good is what my lines would say
0:55For setting off the black from white it'd work perfectly
1:01Though like a chant of ruination it'd be
1:07Why did I think that since
1:10I'd studied the latest schoolbook I'd know clearly
1:18What's right from what's wrong and which is which one
1:23That I could choose I could really know
1:29I live according to stage-right stage-left exit
1:34Improvisation's not been in my bag of tricks
1:40So much of what I want to say pours out noisily
1:45But never when you're not here alone with me
1:49What I know that I hold in my hands I want to set free
1:55Think of how much lighter you and I would feel then
2:01Every word every wall every curse
2:03And sparing nothing strip it
2:06Take it all away to once again see eye to eye
2:33The things I like or hate or things I want expect
2:38Though if I let them out I think what happens next
2:44Well setting off the white from black is fearful indeed
2:50It's even more so when you live honestly
2:54This life is long so long the world is wide I say
3:01And when we've freedom won it all becomes one gray
3:07Yes happiness unhappiness it's only the heart
3:12That knows no quietude that makes itself known
3:17While an adult can keep a secret alone
