After Dark Lyrics
I got your name and number
You seem kinda surprised
Maybe it's cuz I can be
You know like cold as ice
In crowded situations
I always want to go
And if I see you leaving
I beat you to the door
I'm gonna tell you something
You're better than fake-wild
I see the future, in it
They try n' kill your style,
Your manner and your motives
I've seen the way it goes
So memorize my number
That's why I got a phone
Call me, after dark
Call me, call me after dark
I can make the sun rise daily
Right up from your landscape painting
I will be in the front row later
When your brush becomes a mic, maybe
We could change this game forever
Shapes our breath make in cold weather
They might say we're both crazy
I'm just glad I found you, baby
Call me, after dark
Call me, call me after dark
I don't want someone telling me "no-oh-oh you're out of time"
I don't mind being debated as long as you’re with me tonight
I'm not gonna give up easy
We were made to cross the line
I don't want the things that we do
I don't want to let them die
Call me, after dark
Call me, call me after dark
You seem kinda surprised
Maybe it's cuz I can be
You know like cold as ice
I always want to go
And if I see you leaving
I beat you to the door
You're better than fake-wild
I see the future, in it
They try n' kill your style,
I've seen the way it goes
So memorize my number
That's why I got a phone
Call me, call me after dark
Right up from your landscape painting
I will be in the front row later
When your brush becomes a mic, maybe
Shapes our breath make in cold weather
They might say we're both crazy
I'm just glad I found you, baby
Call me, call me after dark
I don't mind being debated as long as you’re with me tonight
We were made to cross the line
I don't want the things that we do
I don't want to let them die
Call me, call me after dark

At the NorVa show, Kathleen Hannah said this song was about a younger girl she met, who she thought was really cute and a really talented singer, but she was afraid to call her. Somehow, I felt a little better upon hearing that Miss Kathleen Hannah is also insecure. I know she's just a human, but it was nice to hear. And JD told her just to call the damned kid.
Oh. is that who it's about? Before I read this I assumed it was about Adrock from the Beastie Boys because aren't they dating or something? And it said 'I will be in the front row later, When your brush becomes a mic, maybe' like how he went to her shows in the crowd and i thought she meant she did the same. Oh yeah, and the brush becoming a mic is sorta like 'i got more rhymes than Picasso's got paint,' and 'I use the microphone like Picasso uses clay.' but I guess I was wrong.
