Hey let's slip down to Vegas
Expressing a desire to go to Vegas.
We'll stay in the car or in a castle of blue
Contemplating staying in a car or a luxurious place ("castle of blue") in Vegas.
cnd play all the Tommys Molly made us
Referencing playing songs by artists named Tommy, possibly reminiscing about the past.
But I'll save my nickel with a buffalo proof
Deciding to save money, using the metaphor of a nickel with buffalo proof.
I've got your number in my memory
Claiming to remember someone's contact information.
Because I'm old and I'm living in an analog past
Highlighting the speaker's age and connection to a bygone analog era.
Long before all the payphones were empty
Recalling a time when payphones were still in use and not empty.
Now their shells remind us that nothing can last
Reflecting on the transient nature of things, using payphone shells as a metaphor.
We saw the pyramids rise we'll see the pyramids fall
Observing the rise and fall of pyramids as a metaphor for the cyclical nature of life and civilizations.
We saw the pyramid rise we'll see the pyramid fall
-We saw the pyramid rise
-We saw the pyramid rise
-We saw the pyramid rise we'll see the pyramid fall
-Thread through the needle of the 15
Mentioning the 15, possibly referring to a highway or route.
Does dread fill the beetles as the windshield collides?
Raising questions about whether beetles (possibly a metaphor for people) feel dread as they collide with a windshield.
Well, they're dead but the rhythms keep repeating
Noting the persistence of rhythms even in the face of death.
Well I guess some hits are just classic like that
Acknowledging that some things, like certain hits, remain timeless or classic.
We saw the pyramid rise we'll see the pyramid fall
Reiterating the theme of witnessing the rise and fall of pyramids, emphasizing the cyclical nature of events.
We saw the pyramids rise we'll see the pyramids fall
-We saw the pyramid rise
-We saw the pyramid rise
-We saw the pyramid rise we'll see the pyramid fall
