Lyrics
Yeah, what, yeah
Expression of agreement or affirmation
Here we go
Indication of beginning or starting something
To inhaling crushed bones through a dried up white-out pen
Metaphorical description of drug use through a dried-out pen
And riding the backwards racer in hot June rain
Experiencing thrill amidst adverse conditions
And a marching blue and gold plastic bag poncho rain coat
Describing makeshift rain protection
It's a wooden coaster with a medium hill height mean
Comparing an experience to a roller coaster ride
High hill to flat ground ratio you know
Highlighting the steepness of the coaster's hill
I'd sell my shingles for a thimble dip of snow
Willingness to exchange something valuable for a small amount of snow
Back then I'da sold my single for a finger tip of blow
Willingness to trade something valuable for a small amount of cocaine
And us in navy blue hoodies and khakis as was the style that year
Describing a fashion trend from a particular year
(And us in navy blue hoodies and khakis as was the style that year)
-And us in navy blue hoodies and khakis
-In London, where the sirens yelp like a helpless dog with his paws stepped on
Depiction of London's atmosphere and the industry's interest in the artist
And the rain comes down in late July
-And the record labels call you Why?
-And your eyes are slits and bags of fat
Comparison of tired, swollen eyes to undesirable conditions
And your eyes are pissholes in the snow
-And your eyes are slits and bags of fat
-And your eyes are pissholes in the snow
-I swear the riders on the tube tie razors to their elbows
Suggesting dangerous behaviors among subway riders involving drugs
The riders on the tube keep call cold coal in their billfolds
-The riders on the tube will hide cocaine in their shell-toes
-And yes yes yes, man, they'll Novocaine the hello
-Till the constables got pitbulls with their car phones all stepped on
Imagery of law enforcement corrupted by drug use
Till the constables got pitbulls with crushed bones up their nose holes
-(Till the cows come home)
Expression indicating a prolonged duration
And us in fish net hats and canvas shoes as was the style that year
Referencing another fashion trend from a specific year
(And us in fish net hats and canvas shoes as was the style that year)
-And us in fish net hats and canvas shoes as was the style that year
-(And us in fish net hats and canvas shoes)
-As was the style
Reiteration of a fashion style as a recurring theme
