Space Is A Big O (circle)
Lyrics by. Bun Onoe and Riyu Music by. Riyu


Chased, so I ran, and I fled to the alley of 2nd Street, I caught my
breath and said "Phew!"
Then, I leaned back, took a breath, and I licked the scar on my lap,
then I opened my compact,
and I looked around all the way and took a glance around the whole
neighbourhood

AWA AWA AWA AWA WA5 Giant Cats
AWA AWA AWA AWA WAAre coming after me

Then all of a sudden, I'm in a different place, I am running with a
pair off cut-off shorts on
Climbing the stone wall around my front yard,
I stretched my arm and ate the chestnut from the tree next door!

Hooo---

Living Creatures are also eatible food

The bird that ate the bug that ate the flower that ate the poo is
soaring through the sky
And even the Okonomiyaki that I just put in my mouth

AWA AWA AWA AWA WAThe grass that the cow ate
AWA
And it also has a scallop
AWA
Even eggplants are inside it
AWA
And there's also ginger inside it

I think that Space is a big ◯ ,
though it has a question mark stuck onto it
On this planet one life eats another life, then someday another new
life will come to life
Hooo---
By the way, it must be Wednesday today
Oops, gotta hurry, I'm going to be late for my 'tai chi chuan'(lessons)
Running on a taxi-cab, I tip-toe through the door of my judo training
hall, and there I found ・・・

AWA AWA AWA AWA WA5 Giant Cats
AWA AWA AWA AWA WAAre coming after me

I ate the pig that ate the bird that ate the worm that ate the apple
that ate the poo...

Aristotle said Space was a rhino
Pharaohs said that it was a hippo
My grandma says Space is an eyeball
The Science teacher says, I don't know
Professor Hawlking says Space is a big curve
Melissa says it's a giant mac
My boyfriend says Space is a bunkbed
I think that Space is a big O (circle)
