The title is based on the Japanese title of the erotic film In the Realm of the Senses.[1] It was first recorded in 1980 and featured on Chaz Jankel's debut album Chas Jankel for A&M Records.

Lyrics
I hold you, I touch you
In a maze, can't find my way
I think you, I drink you
I'm being served you on a tray
You see, girl
That's what I go through every day
Is this the way it should feel?
Pinch me, I'm dreamin'
But if it is, don't let me know
I'm drownin', don't save me
It's just the way I'd like to go
You see, girl
You thrill me, half kill me
That's what you do
Ai no corrida
That's where I am
You send me there
Your dream is my command
Ai no corrida
I find myself
No other thought
Just you and nothing else
You and nothing else
Before my heart saw you
Each day was just another day
The night a lonely interlude
Just came then blew away
You know, girl
Everything was come what may
Until you fell in my life
This spell that I'm under
Has caught me, I'm in a daze
Your lightning and thunder
Sets my poor heart ablaze
You see, girl
You thrill me, half kill me
That's what you do
Ai no corrida
That's where I am
You send me there
Your dream is my command
Ai no corrida
I find myself
No other thought
Just you and nothing else
You and nothing else
You see, girl
You thrill me, half kill me
That's what you do
Ai no corrida
That's where I am
You send me there
Your dream is my command
Ai no corrida
I find myself
No other thought
Just you and nothing else
You and nothing else
Ai no corrida
That's where I am (That's where I am)
You send me there (You send me there)
Your dream is my command
Ai no corrida
I find myself (I find myself)
No other thought
Just you and nothing else
You and nothing else
Ai no corrida
That's where I am (That's where I am)
You send me there (You send me there)
Your dream is my command
Ai no corrida
I find myself (I find myself)
No other thought
Just you and nothing else
Ai no corrida (Ai no corrida)
That's where I am (Ai no corrida)
You send me there (Ai no corrida)
Your dream is my command (Ai no corrida)
Ai no corrida (Ai no corrida)
I find myself (Ai no corrida)
No other thought (Ai no corrida)
Just you and nothing else (Ai no corrida)
Ai no corrida (Ai no corrida)
That's where I am (Ai no corrida)
You send me there (Ai no corrida)
Your dream is my command (Ai no corrida)
Ai no corrida (Ai no corrida)
I find myself (Ai no corrida)
No other thought
Just you and nothing else
You and nothing else
I hold you, I touch you
In a maze, can't find my way
I think you, I drink you
I'm being served you on a tray
You see, girl
That's what I go through every day
Is this the way it should feel?
Pinch me, I'm dreamin'
But if it is, don't let me know
I'm drownin', don't save me
It's just the way I'd like to go
You see, girl
You thrill me, half kill me
That's what you do
Ai no corrida
That's where I am
You send me there
Your dream is my command
Ai no corrida

You send me there (You send me there)
Your dream is my command
Ai no corrida (Ai no corrida)
I find myself (Ai no corrida)
No other thought (Ai no corrida)
Just you and nothing else (Ai no corrida)
You and nothing else

An outstanding slapping bassline. Spooky synthwork. Retro sci-fi atmosphere. It's futurism from a bygone era and I like it now. Catsley's Cornucopia // Lubey Lu
