"Manekin"
"Mannequin"
This town, with so many people squirming around.
And then, one lone mannequin stands up.
In this town there is a very famous guy, a rock star.
This voice can always be heard all around that guy.
"Show it to me here, then spin around"
"Show it to me here, then spin around"
All around that guy, there are always people
Manipulating him. The system is what moves him.
In this town there is a very famous guy, a rock star.
A regular man who is starting to fight against that surrounding.
"Show it to me here, then spin around"
"Show it to me here, then spin around"
"Show me everything, and then laugh"
"Show it to me here, then spin around"
This town, with so many people squirming around.
"I'm so sick of this.." that guy leaves with eyes that say such.
In this town there is a very famous guy, a regular man.
And then that guy, too, at last rips off his mask.
"Show it to me here, then spin around"
"Show it to me here, then spin around"
"Show me everything, then spin around"
"Show it to me here, then spin around"
