Lyrics

Hirake

[Intro]

Open your box

[Verse 1]

Open your box

Open your trousers

Open your thighs

Open your legs

Open, open, open, open, oooh

[Verse 2]

Open, open, open, open

Open your legs

Open your flies

Open your ears

Open your nose

Open your mouth

Open, open, open, open, oooh

Open

[Bridge 1]

Open your cold feet

Open, open

Open, open, open

Let's open

Let's open the cities

[Bridge 2]

Open the cities

Open, open, open the world

Open, lets open the world

[Outro]

Open, open, oooh -

Open, open, ooh!
