we sat down to our fish & saki
then BOOM !
the whole sky lit up
not even the toilet was a good place to hide
we left our shadows behind on the walls
there was nothing else we could do.

since then we play ball in heaven
we don’t need lights to play at night
there is no night.
all the off-duty angels stop by
to watch the games and
cheer us on.
