Big In Japan
Ane Brun Lyrics

Winter's city side
Amid the cold, snowy cityscape of winter

Crystal bit's of snowflakes
Small, clear particles of frozen precipitation falling from the sky

All around my head and in the wind
Encompassing my head and whipped about by the blustery wind

I had no illusions that I'd
I was not deluded into thinking that I could

Ever find a glimpse of
Catch just a hint of

Summer's heatwaves in your eyes
The warmth of summer reflected in your gaze

You did what you did to me, now
You carried out your actions towards me, and presently

It's history I see
I see it all as a thing of the past

Here's my comeback on the road again
I'm bouncing back and taking to the open road once more

Things will happen while they can
Opportunities will arise, and I'm going to seize them

I will wait here for my man tonight
I'll remain here and await my partner tonight

It's easy when you're big in Japan
Life is simpler when you hold a prominent status in Japan

When you're big in Japan
When you've achieved notoriety in Japan

Tonight, big in Japan, be tight
Tonight, perform flawlessly as a major figure in Japan

Where the eastern sea is so blue
In a location with a strikingly blue eastern sea

Pay then I'll sleep by your side
Compensate me properly, and I'll rest at your side

Things are easy when you're big in Japan
Life is uncomplicated when you've captured Japan's attention

Neon on my naked skin
Fluorescent lighting reflecting off my bare flesh

Passing silhouettes of strange
Moving shapes of unfamiliar figures

Illuminated mannequins
Artificial models brought to life with light

Shall I stay here at the zoo? Or should I go
Do I remain at this zoo-like setting, or do I depart?

And change my point of view
Alter my way of looking at things

For every ugly scene?
To avoid every unpleasing situation?

Big in Japan big in Japan
Huge in Japan, monumentally popular in Japan

Big in Japan
Renowned in Japan
