Lyrics
He timed it all just right
He carefully planned everything perfectly.
For the sparrows first flight.
Refers to the sparrows' initial attempt at flight.
But I said don't fly down there,
Advises the sparrow not to venture into a dangerous place.
The world is such a scare.
Expresses concern about the frightening nature of the world.
But he flew down anyway
Despite the advice, the sparrow decides to go down and gets caught easily.
And got chomped like easy prey.
Describes the sparrow becoming prey, facing consequences.
You know, he should have listened fast,
Suggests the importance of quick decision-making.
That thought is just the past.
Reflects on the irrelevance of past thoughts.
At least I told him anyway.
The narrator claims to have warned the sparrow regardless.
Hey, hey.
Well, out on Avenue A
Describes a scene on Avenue A involving a pimp with gold chains.
The pimp flexed his gold chains,
Highlights the pimp's display of wealth.
But I pointed out the rain,
Points out the rain that could rust the gold chains.
That it would rust them all the same.
Emphasizes the inevitability of the rusting.
And like clock work did they rust
Describes the rusting of the gold chains as expected.
And then he died of tetanus.
Leads to the pimp's death from tetanus.
So I took his girl for mine,
The narrator takes the pimp's girl for himself.
And for him she does not pine.
Indicates that the girl does not miss the deceased pimp.
At least I told him, anyway
Reiterates that the narrator warned the pimp.
Hey hey.
Two do do do.
Repetitive nonsensical sounds.
Do do do.
Do do do do do do do, do do.
-Well, the one thing that I wish
Expresses a desire for the sparrow and pimp to meet in heaven.
Is that the sparrow meet the pimp
Wishes for a connection between the sparrow and pimp.
Oh yeah, in heaven in the sky.
Implies an afterlife encounter between the two.
Of a drop that cold my ties.
References a cold, fatal drop.
And their stories they will swap
Anticipates the sharing of stories between the sparrow and pimp.
And in horror they will stop for
Suggests a moment of horror in their stories.
When they learn they both knew me
When they realize they both knew the narrator.
And I offered them the plea.
Claims to have offered them a plea or warning.
At least I told them anyway.
Reiterates the narrator's attempt to warn both the sparrow and pimp.
Hey hey.
Do do do do do.
Repetitive nonsensical sounds.
Do do do. Dododododo. adodo.
Dododododo. Dododo.
