Oh brother, now we're going undercover
Cause she's more than just a lover to me
Can't you see that there's a reason
For this geresy and treason
It's the season for instability

Good lovin' two and one more in the oven
This is way above a discovery
Supercede your jurisdiction
Let's pretend that this is fiction
Make a story out of all that we see

So can we agree enough is enough?
Madeline see the magazines for the trees
So she tells me that
Everything needs some time in the sun
Everyone breathes there oxygen quietly
carefully carrying along

Hey neighbor can I ask you for a favor?
See I'm sketching up the neighborhood's dreams
Cause I need to hit the walls
of coffee bars and shopping malls
And show the world a side that they've never seen

So what do you think about teaming up?
Gravity sleeps when we see
that all we are is not all we will be

    This is an awesome song! The more I listen to it the more I like it. I'm not sure what it's about, sometimes I think it's about love in general, sometimes I think it's about life in general, sometimes I think it's not about anything in particular...

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
