Ode to Madonna
Desert Dreams and Madonna's Spell: A Lyrical Odyssey
Lyrics
I don't quite know where the Mohabi Desert is located
The speaker is uncertain about the location of the Mohabi Desert.
But I do know that Madonna gave an excellent performance
Acknowledging Madonna's excellent performance on a specific day and place.
On that day in that place
Reiterating the occurrence of Madonna's performance in that particular location.
Just for me dressed in black
Expressing admiration for Madonna, who was dressed in black during the performance.
I swear to God I'll die I wanna take her to the prom
The speaker passionately declares a desire to take Madonna to the prom, even expressing a willingness to die for it.
So what its na na na na na na yeah
Dismissive attitude, expressing nonchalance with "na na na" and "yeah."
OK its M-A-D-O-N-N-A
Spelling out Madonna's name, indicating a playful or celebratory tone.
No Way its la la la la la la ya
Rejecting something with "la la la la la la ya," suggesting indifference or disagreement.
Wait up cause with out you life is so blase
Stressing the importance of Madonna in the speaker's life, stating it's dull without her.
I dream I had a dream I had this dream see I see us
Describing a dream where the speaker and Madonna are lying together in a lush landscape.
Lying lasciviously in the lush just like two carefree cowpokes on a hill
Imagining a romantic scene with Madonna akin to carefree cowpokes on a hill with grass and warmth.
With lots of grass the grass is soft the air is warm you dress in clothes of black as I recite didactic prose.
Continuation of the dream, describing the soft grass, warm air, and Madonna dressed in black as the speaker recites didactic prose (instructive words).
So what its na na na na na na yeah
Repeating the dismissive attitude with "na na na" and "yeah."
OK its M-A-D-O-N-N-A
Reiterating the spelling of Madonna's name, maintaining a celebratory tone.
No Way its la la la la la la ya
Rejecting something emphatically with "la la la la la la ya."
Wait up with out you life is so blase
Reaffirming the significance of Madonna in the speaker's life.
So what its na na na na na na yeah
Repeating the dismissive attitude with "na na na" and "yeah."
OK its M-A-D-O-N-N-A
Reiterating the spelling of Madonna's name, maintaining a celebratory tone.
No Way its la la la la la la ya
Rejecting something with "la la la la la la ya."
Wait up cause now the lights?
