In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Well, sweet little sister's high as hell, cheating on a halo
Grind in an odyssey, a holocaust, a heart kicking on tomorrow
And a breakdown agony, I said an ecstasy in overdrive
We're riding on the world, thunder kissin'
Nineteen-sixty-five, yeah, wow
Five, yeah, wow
Demon warp is coming alive
In nineteen-sixty-five-five-five
Living fast and dying young, like an endless poetry
My motor-psycho nightmare freak out inside of me
My soul salvation, liberation on the drive
The power of the blaster, move me faster
Nineteen-sixty-five, yeah, wow
Five, yeah, wow
Demon warp is coming alive
In nineteen-sixty-five-five-five
You're all shook up, aren't you baby?
I never try anything, I just do it
Wanna try me?
Oh, shout (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, gimme that, gimme that, now
Yeah
Rollin' like a supersonic, another fool that gets down on it
Pig sweat a million miles, I've got a heart atomic style
Make it look easy, that's what I said
Blast of silence explodes in my head
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Gimme that, gimme that, now
Gimme that, gimme that, now
Gimme that, gimme that, now
Give it back, give it back
Step to the moonshine frenzy, hail the resurrection
What's new pussy-cat? Can you dig the satisfaction?
Well, you can't take it with you but you can in overdrive
Yeah, some like it hot, yeah, twisted
Nineteen-sixty-five, yeah, wow
Five, yeah, wow
Demon warp is coming alive
In nineteen-sixty-five-five-five
Grind in an odyssey, a holocaust, a heart kicking on tomorrow
And a breakdown agony, I said an ecstasy in overdrive
We're riding on the world, thunder kissin'
Nineteen-sixty-five, yeah, wow
Five, yeah, wow
Demon warp is coming alive
In nineteen-sixty-five-five-five
Living fast and dying young, like an endless poetry
My motor-psycho nightmare freak out inside of me
My soul salvation, liberation on the drive
The power of the blaster, move me faster
Nineteen-sixty-five, yeah, wow
Five, yeah, wow
Demon warp is coming alive
In nineteen-sixty-five-five-five
You're all shook up, aren't you baby?
I never try anything, I just do it
Wanna try me?
Oh, shout (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, gimme that, gimme that, now
Yeah
Rollin' like a supersonic, another fool that gets down on it
Pig sweat a million miles, I've got a heart atomic style
Make it look easy, that's what I said
Blast of silence explodes in my head
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Gimme that, gimme that, now
Gimme that, gimme that, now
Gimme that, gimme that, now
Give it back, give it back
Step to the moonshine frenzy, hail the resurrection
What's new pussy-cat? Can you dig the satisfaction?
Well, you can't take it with you but you can in overdrive
Yeah, some like it hot, yeah, twisted
Nineteen-sixty-five, yeah, wow
Five, yeah, wow

I'll agree with the porno theory. The girl says "I don't try anything, I just do it. Wanna try me?"
Basically saying "wanna do me?" PORNO
