Lyrics
There they go the buccaneers
Observing the buccaneers as they move or act.
Hand and hand in leather glove
Walking together while wearing leather gloves.
So fast so crazy
Speedy and unconventional, possibly reckless.
With a creepy kind of love
Expressing an unsettling, unusual kind of love.
Bright lights, black leather
Reference to vibrant city life and rebellious style.
Bright lights, black leather
Reiteration of the connection between bright lights and black leather.
Some towns make me anxious
Some cities evoke anxiety, contrasting with others that are calm but melancholic.
Others sane but sad
Describing different emotional responses to various towns.
But West Berlin's by far the strangest time
Recalling a peculiar and memorable experience in West Berlin.
I ever had
Highlighting West Berlin as an unusual and memorable period.
All night town of punks and art
Describing a town characterized by punk culture and artistic expression.
All saying look at me
People in the town seeking attention and validation.
Never seen so much black leather
Noticing a significant amount of people wearing black leather.
Even on car hoods
Even cars are adorned with black leather, emphasizing a pervasive style.
Surrounded by East Germany
Being in close proximity to East Germany, adding a geopolitical layer.
So
A transitional line, setting the stage for the next thought.
They want to know just who you are
People in the town are curious about one's identity or how to entertain them.
Or how they can amuse you
Mentioning various groups, suggesting diversity and eccentricity.
Squatters freaks Mahicans
Listing unconventional groups, adding to the town's uniqueness.
Or even a wall of voodoo
Reference to the band "Wall of Voodoo" or possibly a literal wall in Berlin.
If I had to sum it up
Summarizing the experience without being overly intellectual.
Without sounding too clever
Expressing the complexity without sounding pretentious.
I'd have to say my life has been
Reflecting on life as a combination of vibrant experiences and rebellious style.
A case of bright lights
Reiterating the theme of vibrant city life and rebellious style.
Black leather
Repeating the connection between bright lights and black leather to conclude.
