Opening on Thompson
Thompson's Opening Night: A Tale of Chance Encounters and High-Fashion Sweaters
Lyrics
Guess what
Expressing excitement or anticipation
I ran into Christine
Encountered someone named Christine
Looking for quarters
Searching for quarters
By a pay telephone
Near a pay telephone
You know her
Confirming familiarity with Christine
She wears wife-beaters
Describing Christine's attire (wife-beaters)
With a tattoo on her shoulder
Indicating a tattoo on Christine's shoulder
Of a rabid dog
Describing the tattoo as a rabid dog
So Christine
Asking Christine about her current situation
What's going on?
Seeking information about what is happening
There's a movie down on Thompson
Announcing a movie on Thompson Street
Would you like to come along?
Inviting Christine to join for the movie
Should I go?
Contemplating whether to attend
I don't know
Expressing uncertainty
Opening on Thompson
Referring to an event or establishment on Thompson Street
People there
Ambiguously mentioning people present
I don't know
Uncertainty about the attendees
Opening on Thompson
Reiteration of the event on Thompson Street
Christine said I gotta run
Christine indicating the need to leave
Call me later for directions
Instructions to call later for directions
Got better posture all of a sudden
Noticing an improvement in posture
I said What time?
Inquiring about the time
She said About seven
Christine specifying around seven o'clock
On the way home
Purchasing a new sweater on the way home
I bought a new sweater
Describing the cost of the sweater
Eight bucks
Reflecting on the purchase
Could've done better
Mild regret about the sweater choice
Since you're 21
Reference to being 21 years old
Should I go?
Considering whether to attend the event
I don't know
Expressing uncertainty again
Opening on Thompson
Reiteration of the opening on Thompson
People there I don't know
Uncertainty about the people attending
Opening on Thompson
Repeating the event on Thompson
The party was bigger
Describing the party as larger than expected
Than I'd imagined
Reflection on the size of the party
My brand new sweater
Commenting on the fashion of a new sweater
Was high fashion
Highlighting the sweater as high fashion
All the drinks were served for free
Noting free drinks at the party
And I stared at Christine
Observing or gazing at Christine
And she started at me
Christine reciprocating the gaze
Maybe I'll find a party next week
Considering finding another party next week
Maybe I'll ask Christine
Possibly inviting Christine to the next party
If she'll like to come along
Expressing the possibility of Christine joining
