Lyrics

Kanji:

今日はどの色にしようかな

洋服もメイクもマニキュアも

同僚たちから誘われても

断る準備しておかなくっちゃ

かけてもかけても電波は君に届かない

待ちくたびれたわ　ほらもう　月曜日じゃない

毎晩　何度も　シャワーをあびて待つ私

いつになったら　気が付いてくれるの

きっと君はまたいつものように

バイク走らせて消えてゆく

今月も2つめのシャンプーと

私ひとりぼっちで　まちぼうけ

風にゆれる白いカレンダー

オレンジ色の壁がまぶしい

今朝止め忘れた　目覚ましは

狭い部屋でまた　響き渡る

誰かによく似ているマネキンの虜で

帰ってこないまま　ほらもう　月曜日じゃない

もう少しあと少し　眠る前に早く

いつになったら　気が付いてくれるの

きっと君はまたいつものように

曖昧な言い訳と　消えてゆく

君が切りかけた　後ろ髪と

私ひとりぼっちで　まちぼうけ

今日も君はどこかへバイクで消える

今日も君は言い訳を探している

今日も君はマネキンの紙を切っている

忘れ物があるよ

きっと君はまたいつものように

バイク走らせて消えてゆく

今月も2つめのシャンプーと

私ひとりぼっちで　まちぼうけ

English:

What color clothes and make-up and manicure

Should I wear today?

I gotta go ahead and get ready

To turn down my co-workers' invites to go out

I call and call you but don’t reach you

I’m done waiting for you– look, it’s not Monday anymore

When will you ever realize that every night,

I take countless showers waiting for you?

I bet you’re riding away on your motorcycle again

Like you always do

My second bottle of shampoo this month

And me, stood up, all by myself

My white calendar, swaying in the wind

My orange walls are blindingly bright

The alarm clock I forgot to turn off

Is ringing again this morning throughout my tiny room

Prisoner of a mannequin who looks a lot like someone else

You still haven’t come home to me– look, it’s not Monday anymore

Just a little longer… Hurry, before I fall asleep

When will you realize?

I bet you’ll disappear again like you always do

With some vague excuse

The hair on the back of my head you didn’t finish cutting for me

And me, stood up, all by myself

Today you’ll go off somewhere on your motorcycle

Today you’ll be looking for excuses

Today you’ll be cutting a mannequin’s hair

You’ve forgotten something

I bet you’re riding away on your motorcycle again

Like you always do

My second bottle of shampoo this month

And me, stood up, all by myself
