It's more about a girl who is just playing but he feels things with her (Lately I've been seeing things Belly button piercings in the sky at night When we're side by side) belly button piercings are stars and he is starting to notice beautiful thing only when she's around. (And I don't mean to rain on anybody's cabaret One of those games you're gonna lose But you wanna play it just in case) Cabaret is a form of entertainment featuring music, song, dance, recitation, or drama. He doesn't want to ruin this girl's or the guy's she is playing with cabaret but he thinks that these games she is playing she is going to lose by falling for someone but she wanna play it just in case. (And now it's getting dark and the sky looks sticky More like black treacle than tar Black treacle) now it's getting darker and nothing feels good night sky is not as beautiful as it was with her (Somebody told the stars you're not coming out tonight And so they found a place to hide) now because she is not around he is not seeing any stars and without stars sky is sticky and dark. (Does it help you stay up late? Does it help you concentrate?) now he is asking her what is she getting out of this playing (Is it true you win when you chew your chin?) she does something obscure just to win this game of playing with people's emotions ( Am I ruining your fun?) here either this girl start to have feelings for singer and he is ruining her fun or the guy having way too much feelings making girl not have fun because somewhere inside she cares. (And you talk the talk alright Do you walk the walk or catch the train?) and she is still playing like she always does by talking the right talk and he is asking how she dles it by walking to catching a train which method suits her? (You wanted it, you got it But you don't want it now) whatever her methods are she gets what she wants but now she have that or any guy now she don't want it because she doesn't love the guy she loves the chase the excitement. (And now I'm out of place and I'm not getting any wiser I feel like the Sundance Kid behind a synthesizer) here he is confessing that he is out of place where he isn't supposed to be because of her she is driving him crazy and he is not getting any wiser cause she is making his brain stop working and he feels like the Sundance kid (who was a criminal) behind a synthesizer. A person who doesn't know anything about playing music behind a musical instrument. (And I tried last night to pack away a laugh Like a key under the mat But it never seems to be there when you want) he is now trying to pack away a laugh for later purpose to save a laugh when she leaves him because he know she is definitely going to like a key under a mat when he lost his key his happiness cause she is gone so he can open the door with the key under the mat metaphor for packed away happiness, but it never seems to be there when you want it. |
