KARAOKE IN KOREATOWN
Karaoke in Koreatown (single) (2022). Lyrics by Dan Zlotnick
She's fresh off the breakup
No need for makeup
The microwave is beeping so loud
Her lasagna's a little
Frozen in the middle
It's too late, she's gotta scarf it all down
He's done at the deli
His apron smelly
He burns the road to catch the train
This deodorizing driver
Well he was none the wiser
To the magic that the night would contain
Let's fall in love where they never turn the music down
A room full of drunk buffoons
Karaoke in Koreatown
They're flipping through the songbook
Can't believe how it looks
They're body language sings like Adele
Hips and shoulders pressing
While fake Usher is confessing
It's looking like it's all going well
Cheap liquor pouring
The last song was boring
Maybe they should go take a turn
They picked out a winner
And sang for their dinner
They didn't even look at the words
Let's fall in love where they pass the microphones around
Our out of tune cocoon
Karaoke in Koreatown
Stock footage of the ocean
I think they got the lyrics wrong
I've got this crazy notion
That we'll keep singing when those lights turn on
So grab your drink and chug it
Let's get chicken nuggets
Before it's time to go back home
It's too late to sing another
But since we've got each other
We'll never have to sing alone
Let's fall in love where they never turn the music down
This room full of drunk buffoons
Karaoke in Koreatown
Let's fall in love where they pass the microphones around
Our out of tune cocoon
Karaoke in Koreatown
