Blast off Baby
Blast Off Baby: Soaring through Love's Turbulence
Lyrics
Look out sugar, look out love,
Alert or be cautious, sugar and love.
The sky is falling from the heavens above.
Something significant or disastrous is happening.
Your socks are swinging from the clothesline,
Symbolic imagery of chaos, disorder, or neglect.
Got no time for that now
There's no time to address trivial matters.
And your eyes so big and black...
Describing someone with large, expressive eyes.
That's a little lamb, that's a big black bug,
Contrasting innocent and ominous elements.
Got your 50 cent fortune tucked under your rug.
Indication of a small fortune hidden away.
You got your zoot suit body bag ready to blast off.
Ready for a dramatic departure or transformation.
I'm in a milk crate by your bed,
The speaker is in a humble position near the listener.
With my head untucked to see your pretty feets.
The speaker is observing the listener's beauty.
Blast off baby. Baby blast off.
An urging or excitement for the listener to take off or change.
Come on honey, come on doll,
Encouragement to the listener to be daring.
I wanna see you on fire, come on fly fire-ball.
Expressing a desire for the listener to be passionate and dynamic.
What you're leaving behind,
The insignificance of what is left behind.
Well it ain't nothing at all.
Emphasizing that what is left behind is of no importance.
That's a little lamb, that's a big black bug,
Repetition of contrasting imagery.
Got your 50 cent fortune tucked under your rug.
Reiteration of hidden fortune and readiness for departure.
You got your zoot suit body bag ready to blast off.
Reaffirmation of the preparedness for a significant change.
I'm in a milk crate by your bed,
Restating the speaker's proximity to the listener.
With my head untucked to see your pretty feets.
Reiteration of the speaker's observation of the listener's beauty.
Blast off baby. Baby blast off.
Encouragement for the listener to take off or transform.
Blast off baby. Baby blast off.
Repetition for emphasis on urging the listener to change or depart.
