lyrics
(ichi, ni!) Namae o oboeru mae ni, basho o oboeru You learn your place in the line before you learn anybody's name Sore ga sabishii to omowanakatta, ichido mo And I have never once found that lonely, which surprises people And when somebody goes The line closes like water Politely, immediately, without a sound Count us in, count us in Twelve of us and one shape (ichi ni no san, ichi ni no san!) (ichi ni no san, ichi ni no san!) Nobody notices when the water closes (ichi ni no san!) Fan no ko wa kōtai o watashi yori shitteru They know the rotation better than we do, and they hold it for us Count us in, count us in Twelve of us and one shape (ichi ni no san, ichi ni no san!) (ichi ni no san, ichi ni no san!) Nobody notices when the water closes (ichi ni no san!) (ichi, ni!)
