Lyrics
Come on down, come on come on down guaranteed you're in the mood
Come on down, join us, and be assured that you're in a positive mood
This dead heart town is all a bit too rude
Referring to the town as lifeless and impolite
So come on down, alleviate the frown, guaranteed you're in the mood
Inviting someone to come down and improve their mood, promising relief from sadness
It's not a nasty trick I promise you
Assuring that the invitation is genuine and not a deceitful act
So I'll snap shut that door, to give you everything more
Closing the door metaphorically, giving everything without it making a difference
Won't mean shit as I settle the score
Actions taken won't matter as the speaker settles a score or resolves an issue
So I'll get my jacket and shoes, careless with nothing to lose
Preparing to leave with no concerns or attachments
It's ok, time marches slowly on
Expressing that it's okay, time passes slowly
So take off your t shirt
Instructing to remove a t-shirt, possibly symbolic of shedding something
And get out the neighbourhood
Encouraging to leave the current surroundings or situation
I gave you everything I had but
Conveying giving everything in the past
I'm only dreaming with my eyes shut
Suggesting a state of being lost in imagination with closed eyes
Come on down, come on come on down guaranteed you're in the mood
Repeated invitation with a guarantee of a positive mood
As misty mornings come a part of you
Describing misty mornings as a part of the person being addressed
Ignore the dance the over macho stance, guaranteed you're in the mood
Ignoring a dance or a macho attitude, promising a good mood
It's not a nasty trick I promise you
Reiterating that the invitation is genuine and not deceptive
So I'll snap shut that door, to give you everything more
Repeating the closing of the door metaphor, emphasizing insignificance
Won't mean shit as I settle the score
Actions taken won't matter as the speaker resolves issues or scores
So I'll get my jacket and shoes, careless with nothing to lose
Preparing to leave again, this time emphasizing a lack of concern
It's ok, time marches slowly on
Reassuring that it's okay, and time passes slowly
So take off your t shirt
Repeating the instruction to remove a t-shirt
And get out the neighbourhood
Reiterating the call to leave the current environment
I gave you everything I had but
Repeating the idea of giving everything in the past
I'm only dreaming with my eyes shut
Reiterating a state of dreaming with closed eyes
Just take off your t shirt
Repeating the instruction to remove a t-shirt
And get out of your neighbourhood
Repeating the call to leave one's neighborhood
I gave you everything I had but
Reiterating the idea of giving everything in the past
I'm only dreaming with my eyes, my eyes
Repeating a state of dreaming, emphasizing the fleeting nature of the experience
I'm only dreaming once in time
Emphasizing the rarity of the dreaming experience
