Dummy-B

==Lyrics==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
当て書きなのに代わりが効くなんて 	atekaki nano ni kawari ga kiku nante 	They wrote the script thinking of you as the actor, and you’re replaced?
残酷なこともないよな 	zankoku na koto mo nai yo na 	Nothing could be more cruel than this, huh!
精々脇を固めて　僅かな出番を窺って 	seizei waki o katamete wazuka na deban o ukagatte 	Just be a good supporting role, wait for your short turn,
舞台の隅で指を咥えて観ていろ 	butai no sumi de yubi o kuwaete mite iro 	And look at me in the wings as powerless as you are!
 	 	
ノイローゼになるほど読んだシナリオも 	noirooze ni naru hodo yonda shinario mo 	I read the scenario so many times I almost got a nervous breakdown,
大半はまだ　白紙のままで 	taihan wa mada hakushi no mama de 	But the most part hasn’t stayed in my mind yet.
思いつきで吐いたセリフが 	omoitsuki de haita serifu ga 	I spit out some lines off the top of my head,
また空回っては消えてく 	mata karamawatte wa kieteku 	But they all bear no fruit, vanishing out of sight.
 	 	
見せ物だって　構いやしないぜ 	misemono datte kamaiyashinai ze 	I don’t mind it if I’m making a show of myself!
切れかけた蛍光灯の下で 	kirekaketa keikoutou no moto de 	Beneath the blinking fluorescent lights,
今夜もまた1人 	kon'ya mo mata hitori 	Tonight as well, I’m all alone,
蚊の鳴くような声で歌っている 	ka no nakuyou na koe de utatte iru 	Singing here in so feeble a voice!
 	 	
満持して登場！たかがワンシーンも演じ切れないのにさ 	manji shite toujou! takaga wanshiin mo enjikirenai no ni sa 	Finally, I’m on stage! “When you can’t act a single scene,
他の誰かに縋ってんなよ　嘘で固めた舞台に 	hoka no dareka ni sugatten na yo uso de katameta butai ni 	Why are you relying on somebody else?” At the stage made of lies,
千客万来！なんて夢を見たんだ　こんな狭い部屋の中で 	senkyakubanrai! nante yume o mita nda konna semai heya no naka de	“TICKETS SOLD OUT,” “FULL HOUSE!” ...that was the dream I had. In such a small room,
見え透いたジョークで 	miesuita jooku de 	The only choice I’m left with is
もう自分さえ騙していくしかないね 	mou jibun sae damashite iku shika nai ne 	Deceive even myself with a blatant joke, isn’t it?
 	 	
喉元過ぎたら全部忘れてさ 	nodomoto sugitara zenbu wasurete sa 	The crisis has passed, and I’ve forgotten it all!
楽しいことだけ考えていたいのに 	tanoshii koto dake kangaete itai no ni 	Although I just wanted to think about only fun things,
酒を浴びたら思い出した 	sake o abitara omoidashita 	Once I drank like a fish, I remembered—
僕は君になりたかった 	boku wa kimi ni naritakatta 	That I had wished to become you.
 	 	
不安定に昼夜、グルグルと回れど 	fuantei ni chuuya, guruguru to mawaredo 	Unstably, day and night, I go round and round,
何を生み出すわけでもないし 	nani o umidasu wake demo nai shi 	But it’s not like I can produce anything.
いつまでもうまく飛べず 	itsumade mo umaku tobezu 	I’ll never be able to fly skillfully,
人知れず鳴くのさ閑古鳥 	hitoshirezu naku no sa kankodori 	So I’ll cry in secret with no audience watching me.
 	 	
身の丈に合ったものなどないから 	minotake ni atta mono nado nai kara 	There’s no coat cut according to my cloth.
何処ぞからかくすねてきただけの 	doko zo kara ka kusunete kita dake no 	I wonder if the love and courage are
愛と勇気は今からでも 	ai to yuuki wa ima kara demo 	Willing to make friends with me now,
友達になってくれんのかな 	tomodachi ni natte kuren no ka na 	Even if I only snitched them from somewhere?
 	 	
篝火で　ハリボテの背景を燃やし尽くせば 	kagaribi de haribote no haikei o moyashi tsukuseba 	When I burned down the papier-mâché background with a bonfire,
君の顔がチラリと見えた 	kimi no kao ga chirari to mieta 	I caught a glimpse of your face.
外連味も浪漫もありゃしないが 	kerenmi mo roman mo arya shinai ga 	There’s no uniqueness, no romance, no nothing, but why,
拍手喝采！渇いた音が響き渡る空 	hakujukassai! kawaita oto ga hibiki wataru sora 	You’re basking in the applause! The bone-dry sounds echo in the sky.
雨でも降り出せば 	ame demo furidaseba 	If only it began to rain,
それなりに映える画になってくれるのにな 	sore nari ni haeru ga ni natte kureru noni na 	Because I reckon it would probably make a pretty good picture.
 	 	
ついに蛍光灯が事切れた 	tsuini keikoutou ga kotokireta 	At last, the fluorescent lamps burned out!
クライマックスも近いようだし 	kuraimakkusu mo chikai youdashi 	It looks like the climax is just around the corner,
ここいらで涙の一つでも　流しておこうか 	kokoira de namida no hitotsu demo nagashite okou ka 	So why don’t we try to shed a couple of tears around here?
 	 	
待って！止まって！ 	matte! tomatte! 	Wait! Please stop!
たかがワンシーンも演じきれないのにさ 	takaga wanshiin mo enjikirenai no ni sa 	Even though I can’t even act a single scene,
こんな時だけ止まんないんだよ　 	konna toki dake tomannai nda yo 	I don’t seem to stop at all, only at times like these.
棒読みの声が震えて 	bouyomi no koe ga furuete 	My monotonous voice is trembling.
これ以上は種も仕掛けもない言葉たちだから 	kore ijou wa tane mo shikake mo nai kotobatachi dakara 	Up ahead’s a bunch of words with no tricks or gimmicks.
見え透いたジョークじゃ 	miesuita jooku ja 	Now I can’t even
もう自分さえ騙しきれなくなった 	mou jibun sae damashi kirenaku natta 	Completely deceive myself just with a blatant joke.
