Thee Michelle Gun Elephant - Pinhead Cranberry Dance (english translation)

For a song called Pinhead Cranberry Dance, I think this makes a surprising amount of sense.

ピンヘッド・クランベリー・ダンス / Pinhead Cranberry Dance

Lyrics: Chiba Yusuke
Music: Thee Michelle Gun Elephant

Wings sprouted from my back
I’m swimming in the muddy sky
At the edge of the world, 200 feet up
A rolling boogie will shake again tonight*

Wet with evening dew, I can hear the needle's crazy soda bop

Pinhead cranberry dance
Pinhead cranberry dance
Pinhead cranberry dance
Pinhead cranberry dance

There’s no helping it,
I’m being enchanted by the blurring, circus-coloured walls

Pinhead cranberry dance
Pinhead cranberry dance
Pinhead cranberry dance
Pinhead cranberry dance

In a red room, a lover’s dance
A worn-out velvet sofa laughs
My face is the colour of a ripe cranberry
A rolling boogie will shake again tonight

Wings with no feeling sprouted**
Wings sprouted from my back

Pinhead cranberry dance
Pinhead cranberry dance
Pinhead cranberry dance
Pinhead cranberry dance

Pinhead cranberry dance
Pinhead cranberry dance
Pinhead cranberry dance
Pinhead cranberry dance

Notes:
*I'm not 100% on this line

Ore no senaka ni hane ga haetanda
Nukarunda sora oyoide iru n da
