Work in Progress: つけまつける - きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ

If you were not directed here from the corrected version of this translation, please check it out here! :)

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's new single is not out yet, but was played somewhere during a livestream and YouTubed. Took down the lyrics to the best of my ability, but if you heard something different let me know. Sorry to bring the romaji infliction :P Will clean up this post as things become clearer ;D

A couple notes up front:

1. The chorus is kind of a play on the words つける (to put on an accessory) and まつげ (which means "eyelashes"). That's for good reason since the word for "fake eyelashes" is a combination of those two, つけまつげ. I just translated it pretty straight to keep things simple.

1.5 You can argue with me about "fake" vs. "false," and I'll listen, but personally I don't say "false eyelashes." Sounds...outdated?

2. The bridge (the line about the "same sky") is one part I am not quite sure if I heard accurately, and if I did hear it accurately, I'm not sure I captured the meaning quite perfectly.

3. Finally, there is one word that I really can't hear well enough to say even for WIP purposes, shown as [?]. It sounds like まんめ　まうんめ or mayyyyyybe なんめ, but I don't think any of those are right. If anyone has ideas or info, let me know :)
