I Watch the Cars
Contemplating Life's Rhythm Through Passing Cars
Lyrics
I watch the cars go back and forth
I observe the continuous movement of cars in both directions.
I watch the cars go back and forth
I emphasize the repetitive nature of watching cars go back and forth.
I watch the cars go back and forth
Reiteration of the act of observing cars' movements.
Sometimes south and sometimes north
Noting that cars can travel both south and north at different times.
I watch the cars
Reaffirmation of the focus on observing cars.
I hear them stopping down the street
Listening to cars stop nearby.
I hear them stopping down the street
Repeating the attention given to cars stopping.
I hear the sound of stocking feet
Noting the sound of quiet, cautious footsteps.
I wonder who they're going to meet
Curiosity about the destination of those walking with stocking feet.
I'm getting drunk inside my house
Indicating a state of inebriation within the confines of the house.
I see the men inside their shells
Observing individuals encapsulated or withdrawn into themselves.
I see the men inside their shells
Reiteration of seeing people in their isolated states.
They go to prostitutes as well
Acknowledging the involvement of these individuals with prostitutes.
Who never mind the way the smell
Noting the prostitutes' indifference to the unpleasant aspects of their work.
The prostitutes are paid for it, alright
Acknowledging that prostitutes are compensated for their services.
I hear you're gonna try that too
Hearing rumors or information about someone considering a similar path.
I hear you're gonna try that too
Reiteration of hearing about someone contemplating a certain course of action.
I hear you're gonna try that too
Emphasizing the anticipation of someone trying something unconventional.
I wouldn't pay to go to you
Expressing a lack of interest in paying for the services being considered.
I'm getting drunk inside my house again
Reiterating the state of inebriation within the confines of the house.
I watch the cars go back and forth
Returning attention to the continuous movement of cars.
I watch the cars go back and forth
Reiteration of the constant observation of cars' movements.
I watch the cars go back and forth
Emphasizing the ongoing act of watching cars go back and forth.
Sometimes south and sometimes north
Reminding that cars can travel in both southern and northern directions.
I watch the cars
Reaffirmation of the focus on observing the continuous movement of cars.
