Lyrics (Translation)
Information, it’s an era

where it travels in a second

 But you don’t know

what choice you should take

 Money can’t buy my love

 What kind of guy gets

the lariat three times?

 Following the manual

You just hold each other

 You don’t realize there is no love

 <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">Before you suffocate, shout ho!!!

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">In the midnight dream

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">You can’t even take a breath,

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">In the sleepless city

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">Never seeing love but laughing
