Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
光る 雲を突き抜け Fly Away (Fly Away)
からだじゅうに 広がるパノラマ
[Verse 2]
顔を 蹴られた地球が怒って
火山を爆発させる
[Pre-Chorus]
溶けたの中に
恐竜がいたら 玉乗り仕込みたいね
[Chorus]
CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA
何が起きても気分は へのへのカッパ
CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA
胸がパチパチするほど
騒ぐ元気玉...
Sparking!
[Verse 3]
空を 急降下 Jet Coaster (Coaster)
落ちてゆくよ パニックのへ
[Verse 4]
景色 逆さになると愉快さ
山さえ お尻に見える
[Pre-Chorus 2]
悩む時間はないよ
何処かに潜む「ビックリ！」に逢いたいから
[Verse 1]
Hikaru kumo o tsukinuke Fly Away (Fly Away)
Karada-jū ni hirogaru panorama!
[Verse 2]
Kao o kerareta chikyū ga okotte
Kazan o bakuhatsu saseru
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Toketa kōri no naka ni
Kyōryū ga itara tamanori shikomitai ne!
[Chorus]
CHA-LA! HEAD-CHA-LA!
Nani ga okite mo kibun wa heno-Heno-Kappa
CHA-LA! HEAD-CHA-LA!
Mune ga pachi-pachi suru hodo
Sawagu Genki-dama...
Sparking!
[Verse 3]
Sora o kyūkōka Jet Coaster (Coaster)
Ochite yuku yo panikku no sono e
[Verse 4]
Keshiki sakasa ni naru to yukai sa
Yama sae oshiri ni mieru
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Nayamu jikan wa nai yo
Doko ka ni hisomu “bikkuri!” ni aitai kara’
[Verse 1]
Breaking through the shining clouds, I fly away (fly away),
The panorama spreads throughout my body.
[Verse 2]
Kicked in the face, the Earth gets angry
Making a volcano explode.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
If, within melting polar icecaps,
If there's a dinosaur, I want to train it to balance on a ball.
[Chorus]
CHA-LA! HEAD-CHA-LA!
No matter what happens, I won't be bothered one bit
CHA-LA! HEAD-CHA-LA!
As long as my heart beats loud,
The Energy Sphere roars...
Sparking!
[Verse 3]
Swooping through the sky in a Jet Coaster (Coaster),
I fall in the paradise of panic.
[Verse 4]
The scenery turns upside-down and I'm pleasant
Even the mountains look like rear-ends.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
There's no time to worry,
Cause there's a "Surprise!" somewhere, and I want to find it!
