Big In Japan may refer to:
Japan i/dʒəˈpæn/ (Japanese: 日本 Nihon or Nippon; formally 日本国
Nippon-koku or Nihon-koku, literally the State of Japan) is an island nation in East Asia. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it lies to the east of the Sea of Japan, China, North Korea, South Korea and Russia, stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and Taiwan in the south. The characters that make up Japan's name mean "sun-origin", which is why Japan is sometimes referred to as the "Land of the Rising Sun".
Japan is an archipelago of 6,852 islands. The four largest islands are Honshū, Hokkaidō, Kyūshū and Shikoku, together accounting for ninety-seven percent of Japan's land area. Japan has the world's tenth-largest population, with over 127 million people. The Greater Tokyo Area, which includes the de facto capital city of Tokyo and several surrounding prefectures, is the largest metropolitan area in the world, with over 30 million residents.
Archaeological research indicates that people lived in Japan as early as the Upper Paleolithic period. The first written mention of Japan is in Chinese history texts from the 1st century AD. Influence from other nations followed by long periods of isolation has characterized Japan's history. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, victory in the First Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War and World War I allowed Japan to expand its empire during a period of increasing militarism. The Second Sino-Japanese War of 1937 expanded into part of World War II in 1941, which came to an end in 1945 following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Since adopting its revised constitution in 1947, Japan has maintained a unitary constitutional monarchy with an emperor and an elected parliament called the Diet.

After growing up in Molde, Norway she moved from her home town in 1995 and spent the next few years moving between Barcelona, Oslo and Bergen. In Bergen she began writing her own material while at university (jumping between courses in Spanish, law and music) as well as making a living working in record shops and bars.
After playing a few minor shows and recording her first demos in Bergen in 1999, she moved to Sweden, first to Uppsala and then to Stockholm in 2001, where she started to take her musical career seriously.

It was released on the label, DetErMine, which she formed with Ellekari Larsson from Swedish band The Tiny.

He woke up paralyzed
He saw through conscious eyes
real horror show
He called out, couldn't speak
He's alive? Still asleep?
He didn't know
Like a ghost in the dark
she stood there clear and stark
seemingly slow
Your pettiness will never suit you now
nor will the concern vaguely beaded on your brow
And for those who have ever thought you well
they shudder at the ringing of a bell
Oooooh [x2]
She's awake
and the few things you've done right
in the short years of your life
won't help you sleep tonight
And you know
that it's easy to believe
that which you cannot conceive
so you wait for broad daylight
Oooooh [x2]
She's awake
and the few things you've done right
in the short years of your life
won't help you sleep tonight
And you know
that it's easy to believe
that which you cannot conceive
so you wait for broad daylight
He woke up paralyzed
He saw through conscious eyes
real horror show
He called out, couldn't speak

She's awake
and the few things you've done right
in the short years of your life
won't help you sleep tonight
And you know
that it's easy to believe
that which you cannot conceive
Winter's cityside
crystal bits of snowflakes
All around my head and in the wind.
I had no illusions that I'd ever find
A glimpse of summer's heatwaves in your eyes.
You did what you did to me
now it's history
I see
Here's my comeback on the road again.
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight
It's easy when you're big in Japan.
when you're big in Japan - tonight
big in Tapan - be tight . . .
Big in Japan - the eastern sea's so blue.
Big in Japan - alright
pay ! Then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan.
when you're big in Japan.
Neon on my naked skin
Passing silhouettes of strange illuminated mannequins.
Shall I stay here at the zoo or should I go and change my point of view
For other ugly scenes?
You did what you did to me
now it's history
I see.
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight
It's easy when you're big in Tapan.
when you're big in Japan - tonight
big in Japan - be tight . . .
- tonight
big in Japan . be tight . . .
when you're big in japan - tonight
This is not August Nights
or some cheap nostalgic plight
but a call to all of those like me and you
Who's to say who is right?
I know what's more than just sound and sight
becoming less and less to all the spinning screws
Let's wage war in stereo
in the name of the old scenario
Show contempt in analog
in the name of the brand new underdog
(Ah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, there's a fire at the station
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, in the age of
information
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Roll the dial, there's
just static
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Clean the slate for the
fanatic congregation
Burn the house, kill the kids
and you can laugh at what you did
It will all make perfect sense when we are through
How will you tell the wife
about your new organic life?
With all natural and preservative-free truth
Let's wage war in stereo
in the name of the old scenario
Show contempt in analog
in the name of the brand new underdog
(Ah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, there's a fire at the station
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, in the age of
information
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Roll the dial, there's
just static
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Clean the slate for the
fanatic congregation
Let's wage war in stereo
in the name of the old scenario
Show contempt in analog
in the name of the brand new underdog
I don't know you
I don't see you anymore
I could carry you to the door
but there's somethings I just won't do
I can't help you
Your actions speak in helpless ways
I can't hear a word you say
though you keep on moving your mouth
Is it hard?
Is it hard?
When somebody adores you
in spite of sight, silence or sound
in complete desperation
and you don't want to keep them around
That's one thing I can't do
Is it hard?
When somebody adores you
in spite of sight, silence or sound
in complete desperation
and you don't want to keep them around
That's one thing I can't do
I don't know you
I don't see you anymore
I could carry you to the door
but there's somethings I just won't do
and I can't help you
Your actions speak in helpless ways
I can't hear a word you say
though you keep on moving your mouth
Is it hard?
Is it hard?
When somebody loves you
(I've got a better plan)
in spite of all the damage you've done
(I'll be the better man)
and you just want to screw it
(You serve the disappoint)
take all of the money and run
(I'll keep my mind in joint)
You just want to turn off the sound
Sing along
No one's gonna bite you
No one's gonna steal your voice
away from you
Stupid song
but don't it make you feel good
Find it hard to keep your feet
on the ground
Dig that, dig that, dig that, dig that sound [x2]
Yeah!
Ooh, You were impressed
but now obsessed
It turns you around
A series of vibrations
It's kinda dumb
to dig that sound
Ah, dig that sound [x3]
Ah, dig that
Sing along
No one's gonna bite you
No one's gonna steal your voice
away from you
Stupid song
but don't it make you feel good
Find it hard to keep your feet
on the ground
Dig that, dig that, dig that, dig that sound [x2]
Yeah!
Ooh, You were impressed
but now obsessed
It turns you around
A series of vibrations
It's kinda dumb
to dig that sound
Ah, dig that sound [x3]
It's October of my twenty-ninth year
I kill my time and pain with cigarettes and beer
At night I go out with friends
Come home to find an empty bed
The television keeps me company instead
In the morning I sleep-in or go to work
Put on a dirty shirt, yeah
I'm sad, and lonely, and confused
So sad, and lonely, are you too? (ah-ah)
I'm tired of second guessing you
Unsure of everything I do (ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
My daily routine barely keeps me sane
Those little things only seem that much more mundane
Since I gave-up, picked-up, packed-up, and walked-out on
I'm sad, and lonely, and confused
So sad, and lonely, are you too? (ah-ah)
I'm tired of second guessing you
Unsure of everything I do (ah-ah)
I'm sad, and lonely, and confused
So sad, and lonely, are you too? (ah-ah)
I'm tired of second guessing you
Unsure of everything I do
I don't wanna see straight through your lies
But I can always tell when you are lying
And I don't wanna swim deep in your eyes
And I don't wanna know why you've been crying
And I don't wanna be there, baby
We both know what I'll do
And I don't wanna be there, baby
Staring at my shoes
And I don't wanna be there crying over you
And you won't let me know
Why you wind me like a tin toy
And then you let me go
To watch me stumble around
And I don't wanna smell your soft perfume
Bittersweet and cold yet all-alluring
And I don't wanna be locked in your room
You can pet me all you want but I'm never purring
And I don't wanna be there, baby
I can't bear to see you
And I don't wanna be there, baby
Starving to be with you
And I don't wanna be there crying over you
And I can't figure out
Why you treat me like a big boy
And then you push me out
To keep me hanging around
Ooh, Girl, you're a sadist
Ooh, Do you never tire?
Ooh, And I'm burning for you
Ooh, 'Cause I'm on fire
And I can't figure out
Why you treat me like a big boy
And then you push me out
To keep me hanging around
And you won't let me know
Why you wind me like a tin toy
And then you let me go
When did I become so old?
I can't remember anything.
Sometimes I forget to leave.
It can be embarassing.
I am not vulnerable
though I collapse by request.
I was born with my heart on
the outside of my chest.
And I don't not ever
open my eyes before dawn.
I live so close to Hell
if I look, I can see the sparks.
When did I become so old?
I can't remember everything.
I try to jog my memory.
It only makes my ears ring.
The things that I can recall
only fill me with regret.
I could be sentimental.
Good things are easy to forget.
And I don't not ever
open my eyes before dawn.
I live so close to Hell
if I look, I can see the sparks.
And I wonder what you think of me
if I left you there?
There's not a single part of me
begging you to care.
And though I always seem to be around
when you get upset,
I just don't want to hear a sound
from you,
from you,
from you.
And I don't not ever
open my eyes before dawn.
I live so close to Hell
What you want now tell me please
The more you ask the more I'll tease
Ask again and I'll just tell you no
and that won't make no sense to you
but there is nothing you can do
One more time and now it's getting old
Well I guess I thought you should know
You do [x8], don't you?
Angel eye isn't home
and I can't tell you what I don't know
Angel eye isn't home
Angel eye is a ghost
just a figment of your high hope
angel eye is a ghost
Angel eye is a ghost
Oh, the things you want most
are the things you just can't have
and for the most part
they just don't exist
The perfect one for which you seek
keeps my tongue pressed to my cheek
And you're the butt of my most famous joke
Your seat's held securely now
the chairman of the board announced
Your membership will not be revoked
Well I guess I thought you should know
You do [x8], don't you?
Angel eye isn't home
and I can't tell you what I don't know
Angel eye isn't home
Angel eye is a ghost
just a figment of your high hope
angel eye is a ghost
Angel eye isn't home (angel eye)
and I can't tell you what I don't know (angel eye)
Angel eye isn't home
Angel eye is a ghost (angel eye)
just a figment of your high hope (angel eye)
angel eye is a ghost
Angel eye [x2]
Everybody says you're trouble
And that I'd better not get too attached
As if I had any control of that
Besides I like losing control
They're telling me I should be careful
But caution is a word I don't understand
I'd rather touch you with a broken hand
Than not touch you at all
And they say you'll break my heart
Tear it in two, you can rip it apart
And if it pleases you then that's a start
Who really needs a heart anyway?
Everyone says you're too pretty
A sentiment with which I can concur
I don't know much but I know this for sure
I melt when I see those green eyes
And everybody thinks I'm crazy
Getting hung up on a crazy girl
But this is such a fucking crazy world
I've no time to feel ashamed
So please use a knife that's sharp
A silver tooth and a throwing dart
To make a wound
Where there once was
A pointlessly beating heart
Now that's a start
Sing to me
Until the light of day
Returns to hit the face of the boring
Yeah, sing to me
About all the silly plans
Unrealistic self-demands
That you're storing
I just want to know you better, girl
So please use a knife that's sharp
A silver tooth and a throwing dart
To make a wound
Where there once was
A pointlessly beating heart
So it seems I've had this cold
Since I was young and now I'm old
That's why they say I'm unhealthy
Brittle bones and an iron lung
I speak of love with a coated tongue
That's why they say I'm unhealthy
But I do what I want
Despite the fact I've got
Every symptom to prove me ill
And the condition that ails me
Will only kill me if it doesn't fail me
I better make my appointments
And take my pills
I'll live for you
I've had this fever for seven years
And high-pitched ringing in my ears
Reminding me I'm unhealthy
My heart skips and palpitates
Ice-cold sweats when the fever breaks
Then I forget I'm unhealthy
So I act on every impulse
To check myself out of this hospital
Never allowing myself to just get well
And when the doctors rush to revive me
I'll take the drugs that they prescribe me
Whether they work or not
Time can only tell
I'll get well soon
I'm gonna get better; I swear
I'm gonna get better for you
I'm gonna keep breathing the air
I'm gonna keep breathing for you
I'll give you a reason to care
I'll give a good reason to you
You'll see there's a chance I'll pull through
[Promoe]
I'm all city like graffiti, better yet all country
'bout to go all planet if it goes the way I planned it
Fanatic fan addict but a man at it
Loop Troop's a sickness now we're lettin' Japan have it

The illest troop you can't keep a good sound down

The way I see things in Europe, nobody's f*ckin' with this
and in the states, well I don't really wanna dis
But some rappers take hip hop for granted
watch me run up in their spot like moe and mike mecanic
Panic! When my rhymes cross the atlantic

Fanatic fan addict but a man at it
Loop Troop's a sickness now we lettin' Japan have it!

Once my crew gets to speak out they freak out

We stand as one build as one swarm
and travel to the other side of the planet to perform
I look to the east (why?) yo do I even have to mention it
this western world got us trapped in censorship
Cus everything that I say is political
and everything that I write makes me a suspected criminal
Subliminal adertising behind enemy lines

To keep me hanging around
And you won't let me know
Why you wind me like a tin toy
And then you let me go
To watch me stumble around
Cut your legs off
Just below the knees
I cut mine off
Right at the throat
If for a moment
You weren't begging me
To drop that knife
And just let go
I keep my scissors
In the junk drawer
And a pair of yours
Stuck in my neck
Between the blades
You'll find the jugular
Cut in line
Or stay in check
I can't live without you
I can't breathe another breath
This air is much too thick
Without your carbon dioxide
I can't grieve without you
Can't let it lie
Can't let it rest
I'd rather suffocate us both
In our carbon dioxide
Seal the windows
In my bedroom
When i'm done
I'll seal the door
I bought the duct tape,
Chalk and bisquee
A scribbled letter
Explains what for
I ate half the stricknine
And sleeping pills
Prisim colors
And a stomach ache
I left the other half
In the kitchen
For you on a
Chinese dinner plate
With a note that reads
If you ever loved me
And continue now
Don't wait
Follow my example
Don't hesitate
I can't fuck without you
I still smell of dirty sex
Make me lying dead
Beneath our carbon dioxide
I can't forget about you
All i can feel is this regret
I've got my grave decisions
And my carbon dioxide
I wanna tell you my name is go go
And you can listen to me babe
I wanna give you music & fever
I wanna give you all my feelings
Japan Japan I'm ready to come
Don't be afraid just waiting for...
For this night take you high
You can hear me tonight
Don't you keep me hangin' on
Dance the floor
Big in Japan go baby go
I'm ready to take you high
Big in Japan will you let me know
I wanna feel: all your need is love
Come on yeah!!!
Big in Japan ready to go
I'm ready to dance the night
Big in Japan wanna kiss you more
And more again till the morning lite
Come on and take it easy
The funny sisters couple of coconuts
We won't be like Thelma & Louise
Gonna be happy happy to see ya
Winters cityside
Crystal bits of snowflakes all around my head and in the wind
I had no illusions
That Id ever find a glimps of summers heatwaves in your eyes
You did what you did to me, now its history I see
Heres my comeback on the road again
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight, its easy when your big in japan
When your big in japan, tonight
Big in japan, be tight, big in japan where the eastern seas so blue
Big in japan, alright, pay, then Ill sleep by your side
Things are easy when youre big in japan, when youre big in japan
Neon on my naked skin
Passing silhouettes of strange illuminated mannequins
Shall I stay here at the zoo
Or shall I go and change my point of view for other ugly scenes
You did what you did to me, now its history I see...
Things will happen while they can
Last night we partied a bit too hard
It's not quite coming back to me so far
I might not have slept but I woke up a superstar
On another side of the world
I keep my head down stay away from the flash
The whole dancefloor is saying I've got to smash
And I don't mind if it's all for the fans
Because the next thing you know I'm big in japan
S*t*a*r that's what you are
Cause you're big in japan
You're big in japan
S*t*a*r that's what you are
Cause you're big in japan
You're big in japan
Now you know I gotta run, got a shark on my back
I got a 10 ton agent wanna hear my tracks
This is gonna work, this is amazing
We could take it to the world with a perfect timing
If you don't know how you could do it like david
He's so hot right now he's a pretty big deal
Cut a manager in to come up with a plan
And the next thing you know I'm big in japan
Last night we partied a bit too hard
It's not quite coming back to me so far
I might not have slept but I woke up a superstar
On another side of the world
I keep my head down stay away from the flash
The whole dancefloor is saying I've got to smash
And I don't mind if it's all for the fans
Because the next thing you know I'm big in japan
S*t*a*r that's what you are
Cause you're big in japan
You're big in japan (I'm big in japan)
S*t*a*r that's what you are
Cause you're big in japan
You're big in japan
S*t*a*r that's what you are
Cause you're big in japan
You're big in japan
S*t*a*r that's what you are
Cause you're big in japan
You're big in japan
Big in japan, you're big in japan
You taste better than candy
And I have acute diabetes
You feel better than alcohol
On Saturday morning, surfing - surfing the toilet bowl
Girl, girl
I like you
And my brand new raccoon bruise
you shine brighter than you can know
And I am a creep lurking in the shadows
You sound better than church bells ringing on
Our wedding day, leaving-
Leaving me at the altar
Girl, girl
I like you
And these stylish concrete shoes
You're a girl, I'm a boy
Steal my heart then destroy
Everything that a girl and boy can do
You're a dame, I'm a dunce
Crash and burn all at once
I'd expect nothing less from a girl like you
You're a shrew, I'm a prince
Hurt me good and I'll wince
Everyone is hanging on to every word you say as you
walk away
because they can't anticipate or seal your fate
And everyone is studying the little things you do,
though they may be trite
like scientists lacking the benefits of knowledge and
insight
Everyone is staring at the sun
Yes, all of them are standing in the one longest line
Don't follow where they go
'cause you don't want to know
why they try so hard to be identical
They've got their blinders on
They're looking at the backs of the heads
Eyes fixed on the next free lunch
Don't you ask them what to do
Don't you know what's meant for you? (ooohooo, ooohooo)
Everyone's conducting their experiments on you,
collecting data
They theorize, you've heard the same advice, verbatim
Surrender with your arms up and they'll accommodate
you, oooh, quid pro quo
And go through life with no one ever having said I told
you so
Everyone is staring at the sun
Yes, all of them are standing in the one longest line
Don't follow where they go
'cause you don't want to know
why they try so hard to be identical
They've got their blinders on
They're looking at the backs of the heads
Eyes fixed on the next free lunch
And they'll tell you what to do
but you'll know what's meant for you
Don't follow where they go
'cause you don't want to know
why they try so hard to be identical
Don't follow where they go
'cause you don't want to know
why they try so hard to be identical
Don't follow where they go
'cause you don't want to know
why they try so hard to be identical
Don't follow where they go
'cause you don't want to know
Here we go
with exactly what I've come to expect
Say your piece
and I'll fruitlessly try to interject
Say the words
all the words I do deserve, I fear
I caved in
it was almost like I couldn't hear
I felt sick, swollen heart
beat it up, fall apart, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh, is this you?
Little voice, big surprise
now I can't recognize, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh, it can't be you
Do you want to kill me
grind me up and spill me
For all the times you've thrilled me
just add them up and bill me
Maybe I'll pay you
or maybe just betray you
just so I could say you
never got the best of me
And I know that you tried
in a way it's alright
No it's not
Told you so
Always told you it would come to this
Fold it up
and be sure to seal it with a kiss
I broke down
I appreciated your sympathy
Wish you well
in your brand new life, fresh and clean without me
I felt sick, swollen heart
beat it up, fall apart, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh, is this you?
Little voice, big surprise
now I can't recognize, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh, it can't be you
Do you want to kill me
grind me up and spill me
For all the times you've thrilled me
just add them up and bill me
Maybe I'll pay you
or maybe just betray you
just so I could say you
never got the best of me
And I know that you tried
in a way it's alright
No it's not
"Hey everyone, free samples of me."
In times of trouble
I'm on the double
I'm a switch
in off position
I'm opposition
Turn me on
In times of trouble
I'm on the double
I'm a switch
in off position
I'm opposition
Turn me on
And ooh, what I'll do to you
is what I'll do to you
If you turn me on
If you turn me on
I won't be on for long
You'll want to turn me off
I'm one big hassle
A fucking asshole
I'm a wreck
More like a plane crash
an itch you can't scratch
Set me off
And ooh, what I'll do to you
is what I'll do to you
If you turn me on
If you turn me on
I won't be on for long
I wonder [x2]
The answers that spite provides
are they hurtful words?
I wonder
Responsible, I apologized
for my painful role
Still you wonder
You can draw your conclusions
to satisfy your delusions
I wonder how you would feel
about the facts of the matter
leaving you less than flattered
Looks like things aren't well and good
Or at least that is what I hear (oo la la la, oo la la
from our friends and those we call peers (oo la la la,
oo la la la)
You better stop, drop and roll
your back is burning
I wonder [x2]
And when you asked if I could share
the spotlight
I wondered
how is it that you can swallow
your own bullshit?
It's no wonder
How you act like I owe you
What respect should I show you?
You force me to be the bad guy
The bitterness that you savor
not as foul as the flavor
you record, release and design
Or at least that is what I hear (oo la la la, oo la la
from our friends and my own two ears (oo la la la, oo
la la la)
You better stop rock n' roll
those gears are turning
I wonder [x2]
If you feel a sharp sensation, an indication
it's a pang within your head
There to remind you and assign you
to a life of bitterness
If you feel a sharp sensation, an indication
it's a pang within your head
There to remind you and assign you
I've gotta go
Through a time warp of space and style
To a time when a picture pose
When it didn't require a stupid smile
Well I haven't got the time
To put it to a rhyme
Have you got a phrase I can borrow?
For the hatred and the angst
I'd like to give my thanks
I've got a good excuse for tomorrow
Not to smile (whoa, woo)
I'm a weird introvert
You know this life is so tormenting
In a world full of hurt
I can't smile for lamenting
Well I'm angry and I'm young
Caucasian and I'm dumb
Have you got a brain I can borrow?
The violence and the pain
Is hella fucking lame
I've got a good excuse for tomorrow
Not to smile (whoa, whoa)
That's why I say
There'll be no smiles
On picture day
Well, it's nothing new
Nothing new
When I met you, my life was dull and filled with
discontent
I sold records for minimum wage, barely making rent
Played in a band that certainly did not fill in the
gaps
When I look back, it just might be that maybe, well,
perhaps
I'll tell you
Kerry Kathleen, I was alone
calling no one on the phone
(whoa, Kerry Kathleen, I was alone)
but no one was ever home
I nearly started to believe
you would definitely leave
And I would surely once again be left alone
And I'd dwell on what we had
and how I had it for you bad
but then you kiss me and that whole idea is blown
because you kiss me good
Now I know you possibly better than anyone else
Maybe even better than I appear to know myself
It's a good thing you caught me in the state that I was
When you kiss me, I completely forget where I was back
then
I'll tell you
Kerry Kathleen, I was alone
calling no one on the phone
(whoa, Kerry Kathleen, I was alone)
but no one was ever home
I nearly started to believe
you would definitely leave
And I would surely once again be left alone
And I'd dwell on what we had
and how I had it for you bad
but then you kiss me and that whole idea is blown
Are you feeling alright?
Are they taking small bites?
Inconspicuous, but hurtful all the same
Are you changing your mind?
Are you feeling unkind?
I guess it's obvious, you don't deserve any blame
I hope that you know
I'm not one of them
And if you should go
I'll understand
Yeah, but if you stay
I would be good to you
Be there when you want me to
Inspire a pretty smile
For more than just a while
I'll take back all the pieces that they stole from you
And then put them back together again

cut your legs off
just below the knees
i cut mine off
right at the throat
if for a moment
you weren't begging me
to drop that knife
and just let go
i keep my scissors
in the junk drawer
and a pair of yours
stuck in my neck
between the blades
you'll find the jugular
cut in line
or stay in check
i can't live without you
i can't breathe another breath
this air is much too thick
without your carbon dioxide
i can't grieve without you
can't let it lie
can't let it rest
i'd rather suffocate us both
in our carbon dioxide
seal the windows
in my bedroom
when i'm done
i'll seal the door
i bought the duct tape,
chalk and bisquee
a scribbled letter
explains what for
i ate half the stricknine
and sleeping pills
prisim colors
and a stomache ache
i left the other half
in the kicthen
for you on a
chinese dinner plate
with a note that reads
if you ever loved me
and continute now
don't wait
follow my example
don't hesitate
i can't fuck without you
i still smell of dirty sex
make me lying dead
beneath our carbon dioxide
i can't forget about you
all i can feel is this regret
i've got my grave decisions
I've got a plan to rid you of
the new object of your love
I'll give him more when he's had enough
I don't know what you see in him
That light bulb's awfully dim
Twelve thousand volts should do the trick
I want to kill your new boyfriend
I want to find him in your bed
Snuffing out your new boyfriend
then I'll feel better when he is dead
I heard about the tragedy
How's the victim's family?
Are those ill-thoughts intended for me?
I guess I had cause to hate him so
But why you blame me, I just don't know
Made sure it was painful and slow
I had to kill your new boyfriend
I had to find him in your bed
Sorry about your new boyfriend
but I feel better now that he's dead
Everybody says I'm gone, that is, my mind, I mean, I know
Everybody tells me so
Everybody says I'm wrong for this, the problem is I don't
Winter's city side
Crystal bits of snowflakes all around my head and in the wind
I had no illusions
That I'd ever find a glimpse of summer's heat waves in your eyes
You did what you did to me, now it's history I see
Here's my comeback on the road again
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight, it's easy when you're big in Japan
You're big in Japan
You're big in Japan
You're big in Japan
It's here
You're big in Japan, then I'll sleep by your side all through the night
Big in Japan, it's easy to be
Neon on my skin
Passing silhouettes of strange illuminated mannequins
Shall I stay here at the zoo
Should I go and change my point of view for other ugly scenes?
You did what you did to me, now it's history I see
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight, it's easy when you're big in Japan
You're big in Japan
You're big in Japan
You're big in Japan
It's here
You're big in Japan, then I'll sleep by your side all through the night
Big in Japan, it's easy to be
[Incomprehensible]
Too late, too late
You're big in Japan
You're big in Japan
You're big in Japan
It's here
You're big in Japan, then I'll sleep by your side all through the night
Big in Japan, it's easy to be
You're big in Japan, then I'll sleep by your side all through the night
Big in Japan, it's easy to be
You're big in Japan
You're big in Japan
You're big in Japan
It's here
I got the style but not the grace
I got the clothes but not the face
I got the bread but not the butter
I got the winda but not the shutter
But I'm big in Japan I'm big in Japan But heh I'm big in Japan
I got the house but not the deed
I got the horn but not the reed
I got the cards but not the luck
I got the wheel but not the truck
But heh I'm big in Japan I'm big in Japan I'm big in Japan
I got the moon I got the cheese I got the whole damn nation
On its knees I got the rooster I got the crow
I got the ebb I got the flow
I got the powder but not the gun
I got the dog but not the bun
I got the clouds but not the sky
I got the stripes but not the tie
But heh I'm big in Japan I'm big in Japan I'm big in Japan
Heh ho they love the way I do it
Heh ho there's really nothing to it
I got the moon I got the cheese
I got the whole damn nation on their knees
I got the rooster I got the crow
I got the ebb I got the flow
I got the sizzle but not the steak
I got the boat but not the lake
I got the sheets but not the bed
I got the jam but not the bread
But heh I'm big in Japan I'm big in Japan I'm big in Japan
I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan
