Lyrics
I'm starting up the band, staring at your little dance in a trance
I am initiating the formation of the band and observing your dance in a trance.
Can't you feel your bodys burnin' on the gas?
Can you sense the intense energy in your body fueled by enthusiasm?
It's a gas gas gas
Expressing excitement, possibly referring to the euphoria of the moment.
Don't know the steps, Don't know the steps, dont know the waters
Lack of knowledge about specific actions or situations, possibly emphasizing uncertainty.
Down with the tracks, rub a dub dub dub - thanks for the grub.
Descending along the tracks, expressing gratitude for sustenance.
Rub a dub dub - thanks for the grub!
Repetition of thanks for the meal, creating a rhythmic element.
Zimmerman on the line, swinnin' on down, swimmin' on down the Nile.
Reference to Zimmerman, possibly alluding to Bob Dylan, and moving down the Nile.
Rub a dub dub - thanks for the grub
Reiterating gratitude for food, maintaining a rhythmic pattern.
If you wanna jiddy jive, punch the ride, punch the ride on the side,
Encouragement to engage in lively dancing or celebration.
'cos she can surely rock the boat, make it float
Suggesting that someone can shake things up and bring excitement.
We're the rad jazz cats.
Describing themselves as cool and innovative musicians.
Don't know the steps, Don't know the steps, dont know the water
Reiteration of lack of knowledge, emphasizing uncertainty.
Down with the tracks
Continuation of the journey along the tracks.
And with his right hand becoming a blur, he closes his eyes,
Depicting a musician playing vigorously, entering a state of bliss.
Tilts his head back and puts his mind into a state of bliss
Describing a guitarist losing themselves in the music, reaching a blissful state.
Locomotives rolls ever on, the noise emanating from his uniquely tuned guitar
Imagery of a train moving forward, generating a unique sound from a guitar.
From chimes into an ever-circling drone, it soon becomes difficult not to share
The guitar's sound evolving into a continuous, shared experience.
In his sense of (becoming) ecstasy
Describing a sense of ecstasy or intense joy.
You will see me jivin' - when a sad song sound the same
Expressing joy and movement when a melancholic song becomes familiar.
Like a bloodstained picture in a broken frame
Comparing a sad song to a damaged image, possibly highlighting emotional distress.
I'm starting up the band, staring at your little dance in a trance
Repetition of starting the band and observing a dance in a trance.
Can't you feel your bodys burnin' on the gas?
Reiterating the sensation of the body burning with energy.
It's a gas gas gas
Repetition of expressing excitement and enthusiasm.
Don't know the steps, Don't know the steps, dont know the waters
Reiteration of lack of knowledge, emphasizing uncertainty.
