Long Tall Cool One
Mystery in the Shadows: Unveiling the Enigma of 'Long Tall Cool One'
Lyrics
Is he sane or insane
Questioning the mental state of someone
That's all they want to know
People are curious about whether he is sane or insane
Is he crazy or strange then
Exploring the possibility of being crazy or strange
If so I want to go
Expressing a desire to experience the unconventional
I've seen him leave at night
Observing his departure at night
Followed him so far
Actively following him
Drove out about thirteen miles
Traveled a significant distance
Then he pulled in to a shothouse bar
Arrived at a shothouse bar
For a long tall cool one
Desire for a refreshing drink
Don't know just what's going down
Uncertainty about the situation
Long tall cool one
Repetition of the desire for a tall drink
Looks like a new friend I've found
Seemingly finding a new friend
Walking in the shadows
Choosing to be in the shadows
Now I want back in the light
Desire to return to the light
As I make the drop I've got some
Having second thoughts during a drop
Second thoughts tonight
Reflecting on decisions made
You see I walked right in, sat right down
Entering a place confidently
Offered him a light
Extending a friendly gesture
Big talk for about thirteen hours
Engaging in lengthy conversation
He said can you help me with a job tonight
Being asked for assistance with a job
For a long tall cool one
Reiteration of the desire for a tall drink
Don't know just what's going down
Continued uncertainty
Long tall cool one
Repetition of the desire for a tall drink
He said some thing's in it for me right now
Indication of immediate benefit
I've reached out into the darkness
Reaching out into the unknown
Jumped up from my bed
Reacting abruptly to a situation
Woke up in the middle of the night
Awakening in the middle of the night
Got myself in way over my head
Finding oneself in a challenging situation
For the long tall cool one
Reiteration of the desire for a tall drink
Don't know just what's going down
Ongoing uncertainty about the situation
Long tall cool one
Repetition of the desire for a tall drink
Looks like a new friend I've found
Confirmation of a newfound friend
Long tall cool one
Repetition of the desire for a tall drink
But it better never bite me well
Caution about potential consequences
Long tall cool one
Repetition of the desire for a tall drink
Oh, customer's always right
Emphasizing customer satisfaction
