lyrics

(that's my fan)

He booked a room and flew me in to teach me something
He put my own record on and turned it up
He said "this is the sound of contemporary Cairo"
And pointed at a loop I made in my kitchen

That's my fan (that's my fan)
In the background, that's my fan
July, forty degrees, that's my fan
That's my fan

That's my fan, my fan, that's my fan, my fan
He was explaining me to me for ninety minutes
That's my fan, my fan, that's my fan, my fan
And I let him finish because I wanted to see how far

Ninety minutes. He got to the end. He asked what I thought.
I said "the fan in that loop is in my mother's kitchen."
He laughed. He is still laughing. He thinks it was a joke.
(BEAT SLAMS BACK)

That's my fan, my fan, that's my fan, my fan
He was explaining me to me for ninety minutes
That's my fan, my fan, that's my fan, my fan
And I let him finish because I wanted to see how far

(that's my fan...)
