Hyper Reality Show

Featuring Miku

"Looks like Hatsune Miku wants to relish in everything, even if it's fake."


The Greatest Show on Earth
The Greatest Show on Earth
The Greatest Show on Earth
The Greatest Show on Earth
Oh oh oh

(Oh...Oh...Oh Yeah Oh)
(Oh...Oh...Oh Yeah Oh)
(Oh...Oh...Oh Yeah Oh)
(Oh...Oh...Oh Yeah)

We covet money though we know
It's nothing more than paper.
We toss that money in saisen boxes though we know
Gods are nothing more than risky business.

The brawl between the stalking horse and the one who drops the match happens,
For some reason, in front of the cameras
At a carefully considered angle.
So that her love might be fulfilled, she plagiarizes
Honeyed phrases from past works.

To what extent is that a screenplay, and to what extent what you truly think?
And if you knew which is which, what would come of it?

The Greatest Show on Earth
The Greatest Show on Earth, Yeah (Yeah!)
We're actors--both our antagonistic
And amorous behavior might be according to the script.
The Greatest Show on Earth
The Greatest Show on Earth, Yeah (Yeah!)
Putting on a play for each other, fancying each other,
We're thoroughly enjoying this grey.

(Oh...Oh...Oh Yeah Oh)
(Oh...Oh...Oh Yeah Oh)

We search for the zippers on the mascot costumes
Because we want to be goody-two-shoes.
We only have a taste for catastrophes
Because we want to be goody-two-shoes.

Is it good or bad luck to know
The voice behind the curtain? Which is it?
Seems uncomfortable to be a cryptid or a ghost.
"Whose will are you singing this song by?"
You don't need to be told the answer--it's undoubtedly mine, Hatsune Miku's.

To what extent is that real, and to what extent is that made-up?
And if you knew which is which, what would come of it?

The Greatest Show on Earth
The Greatest Show on Earth, Yeah (Yeah!)
We're above such thoughtless types as those
Who don't understand "I understand".
The Greatest Show on Earth
The Greatest Show on Earth, Yeah (Yeah!)
Putting on a play for each other, fleecing each other,
Everyone is grey.

The Earth itself (The Earth itself) is a farce, (is a farce)
And all humanity a troupe, ah.
Neither gods (Neither gods) nor love exist, (nor love exist)
But they're represented with this play.

Time for the grey show!
(Oh...)
We're born into a story with predictable plot beats
(Oh...)
Until we die when the script says so.
(Oh...)
Life is an exchange of distorted ad-libs.

The Greatest Show on Earth
The Greatest Show on Earth, Yeah (Yeah!)
Let's dance together to a bunch
Of overplayed tunes until dawn!
The Greatest Show on Earth
The Greatest Show on Earth, Yeah (Yeah!)
Putting on a play for each other, fancying each other,
Everyone is grey.

Even if (Even if) the Earth is (the Earth is)
Converted to an unromantic binary,
It's before (It's before) your very eyes (your very eyes)
That I want to stay a dreamy grey.

This song is a work of fiction.
