Throat Explosion:
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto
Mata au hima de
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto
Himitsu wo shiri tai
Jean (Throat Explosion):
You're wondering who I am (Secret, secret, I've got a secret)
Machine or mannequin (Secret, secret, I've got a secret)
With parts made in Japan (Secret, secret, I've got a secret)
Jean with Throat Explosion:
I am the modern man
Jean (Throat Explosion):
(Oh oh) I've got a secret
I've been hiding (Oh oh) under my skin
(Oh oh) I'm just a man who needed someone
(Oh oh) And somewhere to hide
To keep me alive (Woah!),
Jean with Throat Explosion (Throat Explosion):
Just keep me alive
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto
Domo (domo, Roboto!)
Domo (domo, Roboto!)
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto
Domo (domo, Roboto!)
Domo (domo, Roboto!)
Thank you, thank you, thank you (Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto)
I want to thank you (Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto)
Please, thank you, oh... (Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto)
The time has come at last (Secret, secret, I've got a secret)
Jean (Throat Explosion):
To throw away this mask (Secret, secret, I've got a secret)
Now everyone can see (Secret, secret, I've got a secret)
Jean with Throat Explosion (Throat Explosion):
My true identity... (Oh oh!)
Yeah!
Throat Explosion:
Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be (Jean: Oh)
Jean with Throat Explosion:
Baby, I've been, I've been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
Jean:
Like a swinging vine
Swinging my heart across the line
And in my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and ye shall find
Jean with Throat Explosion:
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
I feel something so right
Doing the wrong thing
And I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Jean (Throat Explosion):
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive! (Ooh ooh ooh...)
Throat Explosion:
Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Jean with Throat Explosion:
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
Throat Explosion:
Lately I've been, (Jean: Oh!) I've been losing sleep
Jean with Throat Explosion:
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting (Throat Explosion: stars!)
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I've learned
Take that money
Watch it burn
Throat Explosion:
Sink in the river (Jean: Woah woah woah woah!)
The lessons I've learned
Take that money
Watch it burn (Jean: Ooh!)
Sink in the river
The lessons I learned (Jean: Ooh!)
Take that money
Watch it burn
Jean and Throat Explosion:
We'll be, we'll be counting stars!
