» Run Rabbit Junk
Lyrics: Tim Jenson // Vocal: Hide
Kiss a cop
Goin' downtown
Need backup now, you know why?
I like talkin' 'bout weather
Car two, callin' car two
Got a fight
Dope an wild ice
Callin' cars
A jump to nowhere
Up, down take me downtown
Copy that I'm over and out
Another never x3
Hey you so how's your mother?
Come on, come on
* Kickin' me
Are you dumb, sir?
Move, move are you done, sir?
You've makin' me
Mad enough, sir
Boom, boom
Ain't no dancer
You're kickin' me
Are you dumb, sir?
Move, move
Are you done, sir?
You've makin' me
Mad enough, sir
Boom, boom
You are done, sir
Party time at seven and vine
Everybody's setting up to breakdown
Hey you, dance a no dance
You do low-fi
You shootin' lowfare
Pretty girls who run about
Rabbit soft
A dime for some dare
Voodoo
A little bit of mars
Uptown
Callin' all cars
* Repeat x2

Lyrics & Vocal: Gabriela Robin
* note: the lyrics printed in the booklet are different from the lyrics sung in the song - what is posted below is a translation of the lyrics from the booklet
I ask the earth why I’ve been sent
It’s because, if she is to become beautiful
Fighting will be like dancing
My head grows dizzy with anger
The rose pulses
She’s a beautiful woman
She’s a beautiful woman
» Where Does This Ocean Go?
Lyrics: troy // Vocal: Ilaria Graziano
All day the city's selling something
Always, the busy people spinning 'round
Busier; dizzier
'Til they go back home to somewhere
And taxies stop to say "hello"
"Want a ride? I'll take you there"
"To anywhere, just tell my driver"
The sun is casting shadows
An afternoon is fading
I ask, but no one knows
The answer to the question
My life is like an island
Where does this ocean go?
Shyly, a wino sips his wine
Slowly, 'cause to him that is all that matters
He sees a cat he knows so well
Now sleeping on a bench together
A woman waiting by herself
Selling flowers, "Please buy some
So I can help my daughter, will you?"
The man with spider eyebrows
Is standing on a corner
"Who wants to see a show?"
His head looks like a melon
He turns into an alley
Then stops to blow his nose
Sky is filled with neon
The buildings stand electric
And almost seem to glow
Want answers to the question
My life is like an island
Where does the ocean go?
I really want to know
My life is like an island
It's time for me now to fly
Where does the ocean go?
» Velveteen

Lyrics
Seeing you in my tears
In my own reflection
I hear you in the wind that passes through me
Feel you in my hunger
You're haunting my ambition
Beautifully destructive attraction
Climbed to zero G's
Now falling like a rock
Drugged and digitized you inside a dream
* Tu sei per me...iaria che respiro
Il mio cibo, cioche osservo
Magico sei tu! e sento che
Sono inamorata di emozioni
Smisurate e infinite ormai!
Vivi, nei miei pensieri
A velveteen equation
I find you in my fears
And in my fascination
I taste you in safe water and it drowns me
Paranoid and peaceful
Inside a sweet addiction
Velvety electrical reaction
Soft insanity
And I can't make it stop
Live hallucination within a dream
* Repeat
Magico, questo eun grande amore
Magico, questo eun grande amore
Translation
Seeing you in my tears
In my own reflection
I hear you in the wind that passes through me
Feel you in my hunger
You're haunting my ambition
Beautifully destructive attraction
Climbed to zero G's
Now falling like a rock
Drugged and digitized you inside a dream
* You are for me...the air that I breathe
My food, the eyes I see with
You're the magic! And I feel
Than I'm in love
Immeasurably and almost intinitely
Live, in my thoughts
A velveteen equation
I find you in my fears
And in my fascination
I taste you in safe water and it drowns me
Paranoid and peaceful
Inside a sweet addiction
Velvety electrical reaction
Soft insanity
And I can't make it stop
Live hallucination within a dream
* Repeat
Magic, this is the great love
Magic, this is the great love
» Lithium Flower
Lyrics: Tim Jenson // Vocal: Scott Matthew
She's so cold and human
It's something humans do
She stays so golden solo
She's so number nine
She's incredible math
Just incredible math
And is she really human?
She's just so something new
A waking lithium flower
Just about to bloom
I smell lithium now
Smelling lithium now
How is she when she doesn't surf? x2
I wonder what she does when she wakes up?
When she wakes up
So matador, so calm
So oil on a fire
She's so good, she's so good
She's so goddess lithium flower
So sonic wave
She's so groove, yeah x2
Wow, where did she learn how to surf? x3
You know I've never seen the girl wipe out
How does she so perfectly surf? x3
I wonder what she does when she wakes up?
I would go surfing with her x4

Lyrics
Angely i demony kruzhili nado mnoj
Razbivali ternii i zvyozdnye puti
Ne znaet schast'ya tol'ko tot
Kto ego zova ponyat' ne smog...
* Nalybuites' nalyubuites
Aeria gloris, aeria gloris
* Repeat
** Calling, calling now
Spirits rise and falling
Soboj ostat'sya dol'she
Calling, calling
In the depths of longing
Soboj ostat'sya dol'she
* Repeat
Stand alone... where was life when it had a meaning?
Stand alone... nothing's real anymore and...
Beskonechnyj beg
Poka zhiva ya mogu starat'sya na letu ne upast'
Ne razuchit'sya mechtat'...lyubit'
Beskonechnyj beg
Calling, calling now
For the place of knowing
There's more that what can be linked
Calling, calling now
Never will I look away
For what life has left for me
Yearning, yearning
For what's left of loving
Soboj ostat'sya dol'she
** Repeat
* Repeat x2
Translation
Angels and demons were circling above me
Swishing through the hardships and milky ways
The only one who doesn't know happiness
is the one who couldn't understand its call
* Watch in awe, watch in awe
Heavenly glory, heavenly glory
* Repeat
** Calling, calling now
Spirits rise and falling
To stay myself longer
Calling, calling
In the depths of longing
To stay myself longer
* Repeat
Stand alone... where was life when it had a meaning?
Stand alone... nothing's real anymore and...
Endless run
While I'm alive, I can try not to fall while flying
Not to forget how to dream... how to love
Endless run
Calling, calling now
For the place of knowing
There's more that what can be linked
Calling, calling now
Never will I look away
For what life has left for me
Yearning, yearning
For what's left of loving
To stay myself longer
** Repeat
* Repeat x2
» Some Other Time
Lyrics: Gabriela Robin // Vocal: Gabriela Robin
The lyrics to Some Other Time are not the ones printed in the booklet, and also seem to be the gibberish that Yoko Kanno is fond of using. If anyone has a translation of the lyrics in the booklet, or would like to give a shot at transcribing the actual lyrics sung in the song, and would be willing to share, please let me know
» Beauty Is Within Us
Lyrics: Chris Mosdell // Vocal: Scott Matthew
O mother dear, look what you've done
To your forlorn and once beloved son
Why was I born at all?
O mother dear, I'm such a freak
A mutant man, a woman underneath
Why was I born at all?
It's you I blame for all the shame
This anguish and this aching
The mirror turned against the wall
Myself despised, forsaken
* You say, "Beauty is within us, your mother knows"
"There's a beauty that's within us, just like a rose"
You say, "Beauty is within us, so let it grow"
But it's grown so dark and ugly
O mother dear, I curse you so
For breathing life into your wretched son
Why were you born at all?
O mother dear, I love you so
O please forgive this anger in my soul
Without you I'm alone
It's me who's been eternally damned
Trapped inside this cage, a ruined man
All damaged and depraved
O mother dear, this misery
Has settled like a stain upon my skin
A vast unspoken sin
And my mistake is much too late
But your mistake was trusting
That out of grief, a goodness comes
And love comes out of lusting
* Repeat
You say, "Beauty is within us, your mother knows"
"There's a beauty that's within us, just like a rose"
You say, "Beauty is within us, so let it grow"
But it's grown so dark I can not see you anymore
"O beauty is within us, mother knows"
"O beauty is within us, like a rose"
"O beauty is within us, let it grow"
O mother dear, let me out of here!
» Monochrome
Lyrics: troy // Vocal: Ilaria Graziano
Where all the colors are...Ocean
The silent ocean knows
Your face...Your reality
Haven't been the same lately
Wonder could it be a lack of devotion?
Seeing in monochrome
Who taught you emotions x2
Feel...Can you feel?
Might be why colors disappear
The place we call our soul...Ocean
The cyber ocean sees
Your dreams...Your totality
(Dream in totality, dream in totality) Nothing stays the same
Someday
I hope you will make more lasting connections
Feeling jn monochrome
Who taught you emotions? x2
See...Can you see?
Colors that the ocean offers
Be...Can you be?
Something more than black, white, and gray
Being in monochrome
Who taught you emotions? x5
