The King of NE
Revelations of a Nomadic King in New England
Lyrics
Well I never met the man until the day that he died
Reflecting on meeting the man on the day of his death.
In New Hampshire, I'm damn sure
Confirming the location as New Hampshire.
And you shouldn't drive so late at night but he said
Warning about driving late at night, disregarded by the man.
So far I'm alive and he drove off, laughter disaster
Despite the warning, the man is alive and drives off with laughter.
Not after that crazy bastard
Reference to a crazy character who may pose a danger.
She went to college in Maine and now she jumps out of planes
Narrating a woman's college experience in Maine, now skydiving for a living.
For a living, thanksgiving
Connects her lifestyle to Thanksgiving and success in her equipment.
And the equipment never fails with the wind in her sails
Emphasizing the reliability of her equipment while skydiving.
Downward willing, fulfilling
Describing the joy and fulfillment of her downward jumps.
Plus, she's making a killing
Highlighting financial success in her adventurous career.
Weren't the 70s good and the 80s a drag?
Reflection on the contrasting nature of the 70s and 80s.
I wanna live in the woods
Expressing a desire to live in the woods.
I wanna rob a bank

University life for an idiot
Criticizing the university life as foolish.

Grow wings, you know things

The Boston Times, your throwing knives, you had them bury you alive
