Basecamp - Fan Girl

In Jjimjilbang in Busan

I stopped caring

I thought I’d rather be lonely than be with you

In a karaoke bar in Fukuoka

Where the Shōchū sang Cecilia

And the businessmen wept

To hear another

I thought I’d rather be lonely than be with you

I want to be

This city’s looking out for me

So cold I’m wearing two pairs of jeans

I just wanted

In Jjimjilbang in Busan

To stop caring

I think I’d rather lonely than be with you

In a karaoke bar in Fukuoka

Where the Soju sang Cecilia

(You're breaking my heart)

And the businessmen wept to hear another

I think I’d rather be lonely than be with you

As I turn the tap on

And breath the steam in

I think I’d rather be lonely than be with you

Now on the floor

Tremble as your hips ring

Hotbox the car

You wanna hear yourself sing

Back to the floor

I’m feeling kind of empty

You could be my one mistake

I wait until my head is completely immersed by the stream of warm water to

start crying.

I can’t stand to be in that room any longer

«I'm going to go for a drink»

«Please don’t leave me alone», she pleads

I don’t have to wait long for the elevator, which plays Moonlight Sonata as I

hyperventilate.

The people of Shibuya crossing look like colourful waves

flooding and then consequently draining the intersection

I think I’d rather be lonely than be with you

The bar is empty with the exception of four ebullient businessmen

«Backupacker?»

hiccups a large black shape swaying like a slow metronome

«Karaoke!»

The Boss declares

We walk over a large scramble crossing.

We were momentarily a part of the wave

The percussive handclaps begin and I sing «Cecilia»

Everything is becoming blurry, slower

I need to get back to the hotel

I think I’d rather be lonely than be with you
