Lyrics
How you doing?
Expression of greeting
Fine, how are you?
Polite response to the greeting
Sarcasm, are you through?
Questioning the sincerity with sarcasm
Thank you, come down
Expressing gratitude and invitation to come down
We missed you
Welcoming someone who was missed
Which poison do you choose?
Asking about a choice, possibly related to a negative situation
What's a nice girl like...
Starting a question about someone's perception
Oh, nevermind
Interrupting the question with dismissal
Or liken me to what's your sign
Comparing oneself to something and asking about astrological sign
Black and white is all so cut and dry
Commenting on the simplicity of black and white thinking
Rock n roll will never die
Expressing belief in the enduring nature of rock and roll
Chorus:
Repeating the chorus with an invitation
Come on, come on
Encouraging someone to join or participate
I'm not another cliche
Rejecting the idea of being a common stereotype
Come on, come on
Repeating the rejection of being a stereotype
I'll never be a cliche
Emphasizing the commitment to avoiding cliches
If I buy you a drink
Proposing a gesture and questioning its acceptance
Will you turn it down?
Asking if an offer will be declined
Casual but beat it around
Describing a casual action with an aggressive tone
I wrote her off
Dismissing or disregarding someone
I'll paint the town
Expressing an intention to enjoy oneself
How you doing?
Repeating the initial greeting
How are you?
Repeating the response to the greeting
(chorus)
Repeating the chorus with an invitation
Come on, come on
-(chorus)
-Come on, come on
-Come on, come on
-Come on, come on
-Cliche
Declaring the rejection of being a cliche
