階段は
昇りだけ
いつの間にか迷い込んだ
繫華街の雑居ビルで
必要なものは全部
手に入るって教えられた
ヤバすぎる 何だってあるよ
「夢はありますか?」 illegal
I know I know I know I know
金じゃ買えない代償は何か⋯
What? 何もない自分
What? 若さだけだ
Ha どうすりゃいいんだ？
誰に聞けばいいんだ？
この世界のルールわからねえ
ざけんなよ Oh Oh
似たようなクズが
屯してる踊り場
昇って 昇って 昇るしかないんだ One-way One-way stairs
降りるのはできない Yeah 危ない違法建築さ
Oh 昇って 昇って 屋上に行くしかないんだ
天国は どこにあるのか Yeah 地獄でもいいけど⋯
階段は
上を見ろ！
今思えば 確かにそう
すれ違った奴はいない
欲望はいつだって
同じ方向向いてるんだ
That’s right! 興味ない⋯
「面白い話しようか？」 どうでもいい
Don’t say… Don’t say… Don’t say… Don’t say…
何を知ってて 何を知らないんだ
Yeah 価値のあるものは
Yeah 未来だけ
Ha 計算したって
答え 出るわけねえ
損と得の綱引きばかり
ありがとう Oh Oh
どれだけの自由あろうが
何の意味もないんだ
昇れよ 昇れよ 昇った先にある One-way One-way stairs
だから何なんだろう Oh 構造上の過ちか
No 昇れよ 昇れよ どいつもこいつも煽てられて
限界は 見えなくなるよ Yeah 競い合うように⋯
階段は⋯
この世の最果ては 理想のない明日
最後に一番 欲しいと願うものとは
これ以上 上には昇りたくないと
息を止め覗こうか？
人生よ
昇って 昇って 昇るしかないんだ One-way One-way stairs
降りるのはできない Yeah 危ない違法建築さ
Oh 昇って 昇って 屋上に行くしかないんだ
天国は どこにあるのか Yeah 地獄でもいいけど⋯
Ah
昇れよ 昇れよ 昇った先にある One-way One-way stairs
だから何なんだろう Oh 構造上の過ちか
No 昇れよ 昇れよ どいつもこいつも煽てられて
限界は 見えなくなるよ Yeah 競い合うように⋯
階段の
下見るな！
階段は

The stairs
only go up
I wandered in before I knew it
The mixed-use building downtown
I was told I could get
all the things I needed here
This is crazy, it has everything
“Do you sell dreams?” Illegal
I know I know I know I know
Is there something that money can’t buy…?
What? Having nothing at all
What? With only youth by my side
Ha What should I do?
Who should I ask?
I don’t know the rules of this world
You’re kidding me Oh Oh
A dance floor
where all the losers gather
Climb, climb, I can only climb up One-way One-way stairs
I can’t go back down Yeah It’s a dangerous illegal construction
Oh Climb, climb, I can only head for the rooftop
Which way is Heaven? Yeah Though Hell works too…
Look up
the stairs!
Now that I think about it
I certainly haven’t passed by anyone
Desires always point
in the same direction
That’s right! I’m not interested…
“Shall I tell you something interesting?” I don’t care
Don’t say… Don’t say… Don’t say… Don’t say…
What do I know, and what don’t I?
Yeah The only thing of value
Yeah is the future
Ha Even if I tried to calculate it
I wouldn’t get any answers
It’s all a tug-of-war between loss and gain
Thanks Oh Oh
No matter how much freedom I have
it means nothing
C’mon climb, climb, the future lies beyond that One-way One-way stairs
So what’s it all about? Oh It’s a structural flaw?
No C’mon climb, climb, every one of them is provoking me
I can’t see my limit anymore Yeah Just like we’re competing with each other…
The stairs are…
At the edge of this world is a tomorrow without ideals
In the end, what is it that I wish for and want the most?
I don’t want to climb any higher than this
Shall I hold my breath and take a peek?
Oh, life…
Climb, climb, I can only climb up One-way One-way stairs
I can’t go back down Yeah It’s a dangerous illegal construction
Oh Climb, climb, I can only head for the rooftop
Which way is Heaven? Yeah Though Hell works too…
Ah
C’mon climb, climb, the future lies beyond that One-way One-way stairs
So what’s it all about? Oh It’s a structural flaw?
No C’mon climb, climb, every one of them is provoking me
I can’t see my limit anymore Yeah Just like we’re competing with each other…
