Greasy Heart
Greasy Heart: Unveiling the Psychedelic Tapestry of Love and Art
Lyrics
Lady, you keep asking why he likes you
Lady, you keep questioning why he's attracted to you.
How come?
Asking the reason.
Wonder why he wants more if he's just had some
Curiosity about his desire for more even after recent experiences.
Boys, she's got more to play with in the way of toys
Implying she has more to offer in terms of things to engage with or play with.
Lady's eyes go off and on with a finger full of glue
Her attention wavers, possibly due to being under the influence.
Lips are drawn upon her face in come-to-me tattoo
She has drawn-on lips, like a permanent invitation.
Creamy suntan color that fades when she bathes
Describing her skin tone that changes but fades.
Paper dresses catch on fire and you lose her in the haze
Reference to a fleeting or temporary nature, like paper dresses catching fire and disappearing.
Don't ever change lady, he likes you that way
Encouragement not to change because her current self appeals to someone.
Because he's just had his hair done and he wants to use your wig
He's interested in her wig after his own grooming.
He's going off the drug thing 'cause his veins are getting big
Choosing to avoid drugs due to health reasons.
He wants to sell his paintings but the market is slow
Desire to sell art but facing a slow market.
They're only paying him two grams now
Payment offered for art is minimal (two grams).
For a one-man abstract show
Low reward for exhibiting abstract art alone.
Don't ever change people even if you can
Encouragement not to change oneself, regardless of the ability to do so.
You are your own best toy to play with, remote control hands
A person is their best source of entertainment/control.
Made for each other
Suggesting a perfect match or compatibility.
Made in Japan
Implies a connection but also possibly an artificial or manufactured one.
Woman with a greasy heart, automatic man
Portrays a woman as deceitful or untrustworthy, contrasted with an automatic man.
Don't ever change people
Reiteration of advice not to change despite potential consequences.
Your face will hit the fan
A warning about potential negative repercussions if change occurs.
Don't ever change people even if you can
Repeated advice against changing oneself, even if possible.
Don't change before the empire falls
Warning against change before a downfall or collapse.
You laugh so hard you crack the walls
Laughing excessively, causing cracks in the walls, possibly symbolizing instability.
