Kisou

Kisou (鬼葬 Kisō, Demonic burial) is the third studio album released by Dir En Grey on January 30, 2002. It has helped them gain popularity across Asia and is their best-selling album to date. The first press edition came with an extra booklet of lyrics and the cover booklet came in color, as opposed to the normal release. Unlike their previous two albums, Kisou did not feature extra poems and images per song in the liner notes; rather, the standard booklet came with the band's own English translation of the lyrics, while the extra booklet in the first pressing contained the original Japanese lyrics.

    2000 MAN

    by: Kiss

    Well, my name it is a number it's on a piece of plastic film
    And I've been growin' funny flowers outside on my little window sill
    Don't you know I'm a 2,000 man
    And my kids, they just don't understand me at all
    You know, my wife still respects me even though I really misuse her
    I am having an affair with the Random computer
    Don't you know I'm a 2,000 man
    And my kids, they just don't understand me at all
    Oh daddy, proud of your planet, oh mommy, proud of your sun
    Oh daddy, proud of your planet, oh mommy, proud of your sun
    Oh daddy, your brain's still flashin' like they did when you were young
    Or did they come down crashin' seeing all the thing's you'd done
    Spacin' out havin' fun
    Oh daddy, proud of your planet, oh mommy, proud of your sun
    Oh daddy, proud of your planet, oh mommy, proud of your sun
    Oh daddy, your brain's still flashin' like they did when you were young
    Or did they come down crashin' seeing all the thing's you'd done
    Spacin' out havin' fun
    Don't you know I'm a 2,000 man
    And my kids, they just don't understand me at all
    Don't you know I'm a 2,000 man
    And my kids, they just don't understand me at all
    Understand me, understand me, understand me
    Don't you know I'm a 2,000 man
    And my kids, they just don't understand me at all
    Don't you know I'm a 2,000 man
    And my kids, they just don't understand me at all
    I'm a 2,000 man, I'm a 2,000 man
    I'm a 2,000 man, I'm a 2,000 man
