Lyrics
Jeepus up and gone
Feeling disoriented or surprised, abruptly departing
Jesus down the main track
Reference to a spiritual figure (Jesus) navigating life's path
Holding out one last big deal
Engaging in a final significant transaction or negotiation
Honey are you coming back?
Expressing uncertainty about a loved one's return
Gotta get out of the city
Desire to escape urban life and its complexities
Anywhere will do
Willingness to go anywhere to break free from the city
Gotta get out of this city
Reiterating the need to leave the city, emphasizing companionship
Anywhere with you
Expressing a preference for anywhere as long as it's with a loved one
Don't get all showbiz on me
Warning against pretentious or theatrical behavior
I've seen you in the nude
Having witnessed the person in a vulnerable state
I know where you steal those records
Awareness of where the person acquires stolen records
It's the same place that I do
Claiming a shared source for obtaining records
Gotta get out of the city
Repeating the desire to leave the city for any location
Anywhere will do
Reiterating the flexibility of destination, emphasizing escape
Gotta get out of this city
Stating the urgency to depart the city with the loved one
Anywhere with you
Highlighting the importance of companionship in departure
Bad as Duke Redbone
Comparing someone to Duke Redbone, implying a negative association
Give me the willies too
Expressing discomfort or fear related to Duke Redbone
I'm on a prison phone
Communicating from a confined or restricted space (prison phone)
Can't get through to you
Difficulty in establishing contact with the person
Gotta get out of the city
Repetition of the desire to leave the city for any place
Anywhere will do
Emphasizing the need to escape, regardless of the destination
Gotta get out of this city
Stressing the urgency to depart the city with the loved one
Anywhere with you
Underlining the importance of companionship in departure
Sloppy skies, denim rise
Depicting a scene with disorganized skies and rising denim
Floppy hat, shields your eyes
Describing a person wearing a floppy hat to shield their eyes
A stranger you arrive
Introducing the theme of arrival and departure by a stranger
A stranger you leave
Repeating the theme, emphasizing the transient nature of relationships
Read in your eyes
Recognizing a lack of sincerity or belief in the person's words
Words they don't believe
Highlighting the discrepancy between spoken words and true feelings
Gotta get out of the city
Reiterating the desire to leave the city for any available place
Anywhere will do
Emphasizing the willingness to escape, regardless of the destination
Gotta get out of this city
Stressing the urgency to depart the city with the loved one
Anywhere with you
Underlining the importance of companionship in departure
