From this position
I will relax
From this position
I can see the whole place

From this position
Oh, just relax
From this position
I make some stand
I make my peace with the man

And it goes pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow
It goes pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow

From this position
I can see both of them
From this position
I totally get how the decision was reached

From this position
I can say "serious" or "cop-out" or "hard to define"
From this position, from this position
It's kind of like eating myself to death

You on the outside
Me on the inside
There's advantage to both
(Advantages to both)

And me being uptight
And you being all right
There's advantages to each
(Advantages advantages)

From this perspective, from this position
I have a good grip on both of them
Because I have stayed home
And have learned a little more about my neighborhood
Which is important
You know, there's a lot of good places to eat

So it goes pow, pow, pow, pow, pow
Pow, pow, pow, pow
Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow
Pow, pow, pow, pow

So it's pow, pow, pow, pow, pow
Pow, pow, pow, pow
It goes pow, pow, pow, pow, pow
Pow, pow, pow, pow

With you on the keystroke
And me on the gangplank
There's advantages to both
(Advantages to both)

And you have been all right
And I have been filmed being ridiculous
Oh, eat it, Michael Musto
You're no Bruce Vilanch

Now, I have been untied
And you are all cross-eyed
There's advantages to each
(Advantages to each)

And I'm coming back, coming back, coming back
Until there's nothing left in the well
Is that what they call it, the well?

I'm paralyzed
And looking through you
But if nothing's right
We try anyway

As we compromised an aggregate person
I'm amazed at my decision to blame

On this occasion, there are a couple of things that we know that we learned from Fact Magazine
One, the king wears a king hat and lives in a king house
Two, your time will come, but tonight is our night
So you should give us all of your drugs
Three, we have a black president and you do not, so shut up
Because you don't know shit about where I'm from that you didn't get from your TV

So while times have been tough
And times have been tough
You have been put down, washed up, erased out
But honestly
And be honest with yourself
How much time do you waste?
How much time do you blow every day?

So pow, pow, pow, pow, pow
Pow, pow, pow, pow
Oh, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow
Pow, pow, pow, pow

So pow, pow, pow, pow, pow
Pow, pow, pow, pow
Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow
Pow, pow, pow, pow

The return of the police
The return of the police

With you on the inside
And me on the outside
There's advantages to both
(Advantages to both)

With me being wired
And you being tired
There's advantages to each
(Advantages, advantages)

From this position
I feel an affinity for the both of them, which is confusing
But honestly
I should be careful because otherwise, I'm being, I'm being, you know, what's it called?
Oh, fuck it

Reclining, I'm getting used to it
Like kissing under a bridge
It's an entirely new
Discovery, discovery, discovery, discovery, discovery, discovery, discovery, discovery

And then a couple of weeks at home
And then a couple of weeks away
And then home and away, again
To use up your desire for
Discovery, discovery, discovery, discovery
Discovery, discovery, discovery

For an instant
You could have pushed through
But it's a plagiarized
Regret anyway
But what you want for now
Is someone to feel you
And that's the thing you like
Is planning to stay

And all this time
It's so nice
It's so nice
It's so nice

The return of the police!

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”
