You can live without things for a long time<br>
If you talk to a companion and have a problem<br>
Life style through the tools of seas, moutains, rivers, and nature<br>
The forgotten law<br>
Without thinking about losses<br>
Everyone is worth competing with all five senses<br>
Absorbed in playing<br>
Imaginations come together to reach the endless universe

Here we go again<br>
Don't talk around it<br>
Straight (to the point) is the best<br>
A kiss on the eyes with no back or front<br>
The more we have things to protect<br>
Adult mode<br>
Surely causes wrinkles a bit<br>
You can be stupid<br>
Sensitivity is important<br>
Everyone in Kongo Bongo, bingo, everywhere, lines up<br>
Bouncing in rhythm with their favorite friends<br>
If you have laughter in your life, it will solve everything
