Lyrics
I was all night long on the broken glass
I experienced a night of hardship and struggle.
Living in a medicine chest
Living surrounded by medications and their effects.
Mediteromanian hotel back
Referring to a hotel in the Mediterranean region.
Sprawled across a roll top desk
Lying sprawled on a large desk with a roll-top.
That old monkey rode a blade on an overhead fan
Describing a mechanical monkey riding a fan.
They paint the donkey blue if you pay
People can paint a donkey blue for payment.
I got a telephone call from Istanbul
Received a phone call from Istanbul.
My baby's coming home today
Anticipation of the speaker's lover returning.
Will you sell me one of those if I shave my head
Asking if a deal can be made for a unique item.
Get me out of town is what fireball said
Desire to leave town, influenced by someone named Fireball.
Never trust a man in a blue trench coat
A warning not to trust a man in a blue trench coat.
Never drive a car when you're dead
A cautionary statement against driving when emotionally numb.
Saturday's a festival, oh now Saturday's a gem
Highlighting the festive nature of Saturdays.
Follow me to Beulah's on dry creek road
Invitation to follow to Beulah's on Dry Creek Road.
I got to wear the hat that my baby done sewed
The speaker wears a hat made by their significant other.
Will you sell me one of those, shave my head
Reiteration of the desire for a deal and leaving town.
Get me out of town is what fireball said
Reaffirmation of the influence of Fireball.
Never trust a man in a blue trench coat
Repeating the warning against trusting a man in a blue trench coat.
Never drive a car when you're dead
Reiteration of the caution about driving when emotionally numb.
Saturday's a festival, Friday's a gem
Restating the festive nature of Saturdays and the value of Fridays.
Dye your hair yellow baby
Suggesting a change, possibly a metaphorical transformation.
Follow me to Beulah's
Invitation to follow to Beulah's, maintaining continuity.
I just got to wear the hat that my baby done
The speaker emphasizes wearing the hat made by their significant other.
Will you sell me one of those, shave my head
Reiteration of the desire for a deal and leaving town.
Get me out of town is what fireball said
Reaffirmation of the influence of Fireball.
Never trust a man in a blue trench coat
Repeating the warning against trusting a man in a blue trench coat.
Never drive a car when you're dead
Reiteration of the caution about driving when emotionally numb.
Saturday's a festival, Friday's a gem
Restating the festive nature of Saturdays and the value of Fridays.
Dye your hair yellow baby
Suggesting a change, possibly a metaphorical transformation.
Follow me to Beulah's
Invitation to follow to Beulah's, maintaining continuity.
I just got to wear the hat that my baby done sewed
The speaker emphasizes wearing the hat made by their significant other.

Saturday's a festival, now Friday's just a gem sweetheart
Restating the festive nature of Saturdays and emphasizing the value of Fridays.
Follow me to Beulah's on dry creek road
