Alice in Wonder Underground
Lyrics: Imai Hisashi
Music: Imai Hisashi
I’m praying to love and the world, to the ephemeral
And to an angel of slaughter with folded wings as his trumpet resounds
It’s so cruel, darling, that you’re a zombina who covets love and the flesh*
But you don’t cry or anything—really, love is a complete nightmare
“I’m coming, are you ready? Ready or not!”**
I hiss in a sigh next to your ear
Oh! Yeah! Alice in Wonder Underground
Devil, Angel and Epicurean, let's go!
Let’s break free from your loneliness tonight, make a shooting star in bed
Andromeda’s tambourine is Pierrot upside down
Let’s go join the parade to be lost children jumping head over heels
Higher and higher, hold your breath! We’re going underground, falling down
“Higher, yeah, sink higher and higher”
I whispered in a sigh next to your ear
Oh! Yeah! Alice in Wonder Underground
Devil, Angel and Epicurean
Oh! Yeah! Alice in Wonder Underground
Devil, Angel and Epicurean, let's go!

Note: I took a lot of liberties in translating this song in order to best get across the meaning and tone of the lyrics. All the changes I made in the order of lines, etc. were very deliberate.
*”Zombina” appears to be a word that Mr. Imai made up. It looks like it’s a combination of “zombie” and “bambina.” I guess she wants to get it on but she can’t, because she’s undead.
**The phrase in this line is the line Japanese children use when playing hide and seek, the Japanese version of the phrase “Ready or not, here I come!” However, taken out of context, the Japanese phrase takes on a sexual double meaning which I made every effort to preserve in my translation. So, in short, yes, the word “to come” can be interpreted sexually in this context.

Tight Rope
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi
I follow your rippling figure with my fingers forever, ah, how maddening
You ripple just as if you were swimming in the sky, ah, how beautiful
In the depths of the darkness, someone is laughing; she beckoned—ah, I'm there
Tonight, I'm psychotic, everywhere, ah, it's like I'm going to fall
I can only depend on the smell of death
Back and forth, trembling, swaying, I'm crossing the rope—close your eyes
Back and forth, trembling, swaying, I'm crossing the rope—close your eyes
I follow your rippling figure with my fingers forever, ah how maddening
If you could fly, I could go anywhere, ah, it's like I'm going to fall
I can only depend on the smell of death
You're on a swing in midair, I'm crossing the rope—close your eyes
I'm swimming through space with you, we'll meet at the end of a dream—close your eyes
The swing ripples in midair, I'm crossing the rope—close your eyes
I'm swimming through space with you, can we meet at the end of a dream?—close your eyes
You're rippling, you're rippling—the blue, blue sky, the blue, blue sea
You're rippling, you're rippling—the blue, blue sky, the blue, blue sea
