Lyrics
Patience now
Expressing a need for patience.
One more block to go
Indicating a short distance remaining.
Are we coming off too sweet
Questioning if they appear overly pleasant.
On these cold damp city streets?
Reflecting on politeness in the cold urban environment.
Where the moon is much too high
Commenting on the moon's height in the sky.
And out feet don't move beneath us
Feeling stagnant, with feet seemingly unmoving.
One more drink to go
Anticipating one more alcoholic drink.
One more and we'll know
Expecting clarity or revelation after the next drink.
The rain is coming down
Noting the onset of rain and a desire to go home.
I want to get you home
Expressing a wish to escort someone home.
Let's burn out on the east side
Proposing a metaphorical "burnout" on the east side.
On the east side, on the east side
-Let's burn out on the east side
-On the east side, on the east side
-Hold on now, our blood much too thin
Acknowledging thin blood, possibly vulnerability.
And our feet don't move beneath us
Reiterating a sense of immobility.
One more drink to go
Expecting another alcoholic drink.
One more and we'll know
Anticipating insight or resolution after the next drink.
The rain is coming down
Reiterating the presence of rain and a desire to go home.
I want to get you home
Expressing a desire to accompany someone home in the rain.
Let's burn out on the east side
Repeating the idea of burning out on the east side.
On the east side, on the east side
-Let's burn out on the east side
-On the east side, on the east side
-Rain down while Atlanta sleeps tonight
Invoking rain in Atlanta as the city sleeps.
Rain down while Atlanta sleeps tonight
-Yeah, sleeps tonight, sleeps tonight, tonight
-Let's burn out on the east side
Repeating the notion of burning out on the east side.
On the east side, on the east side
-Let's burn out on the east side
-On the east side, on the east side
-Let's burn out on the east side
-On the east side, on the east side
