TITLE: Basito Basito
|
||
ARTIST: MoBead
|
||
|
||
[INTRO — guitar arpeggiated, maracas, 4 bars]
|
||
|
||
[VERSE 1]
|
||
He books the flight in January
|
||
Says it's for the food, for the culture, for the scenery
|
||
He packs the linen shirts, he leaves the rest
|
||
Bangkok calling, he don't need to second-guess
|
||
|
||
He bought an EUC, no helmet, no knee pad
|
||
Rolls down the avenue looking not-so-bad
|
||
At night he revs the V8 on the street
|
||
Neighbors call the cops — he parks — discreet
|
||
|
||
[PRE-CHORUS]
|
||
Lentement, lentement he opens up the map
|
||
Thailand calling, calling — no turning back
|
||
He says it's for the noodles, says it's for the shrine
|
||
But his browser history tells a different kind of line
|
||
|
||
[CHORUS]
|
||
Basito basito
|
||
He goes, he goes
|
||
Basito basito
|
||
Nobody knows
|
||
Basito basito
|
||
Slow and low
|
||
What he's really looking for
|
||
He never shows
|
||
|
||
[VERSE 2]
|
||
He posts the pad thai on his Instagram
|
||
"Amazing culture," caption says, I am
|
||
A changed man, a whole man, a new plan
|
||
He buys a scarf — the gift shop understands
|
||
|
||
The EUC clips a curb outside the gate
|
||
"I'm fine, I'm fine" — the scrapes say otherwise, mate
|
||
He revs the V8 at a quarter to three
|
||
The neighbors at their windows — they can all see
|
||
|
||
[PRE-CHORUS]
|
||
Lentement, lentement he's living his truth
|
||
Just not out loud, just not for the group
|
||
The linen flaps, the boarding pass face-down
|
||
Basito basito — smallest man in town
|
||
|
||
[CHORUS]
|
||
|
||
[BRIDGE]
|
||
He's not slow, he's not fast
|
||
Just careful how long the secret's built to last
|
||
The EUC, the V8, the Bangkok receipt —
|
||
Basito basito, little by little — the truth finds its feet
|
||
|
||
[CHORUS]
|
||
|
||
[OUTRO — guitar strips back, half-spoken]
|
||
Basito... basito...
|
||
It's really just for the food, he says.
|
||
Basito... basito...
|
||
Quiero...
|
||
Nevermind.
|
||
```
