Right in Time Lyrics
You left your mark on me, it's permanent, a tattoo
Pierce the skin and the blood runs through
Oh, my baby
The way you move it's right in time
It's right in time with me
Watch the water boil and I listen
Turn off the television
Oh, my baby
The way you move it's right in time
It's right in time with me
My bracelets and everything
Lie on my back and moan at the ceiling
Oh, my baby
I bite my nails, I get weak inside
Reach over and turn off the light
Oh, my baby
The way you move it's right in time
It's right in time with me
The way you move it's right in time
It's right in time with me
take off my watch and my earrings...moan at the ceiling - could be masturbation or just that she doesn't want anything extra on - totally naked - totally vulnerable and totally perfect -
It's about losing someone you felt was perfect for you, but they didn't feel the same way, and not being able to forget them, no matter how hard you might try. Yeah, that verse could be about masturbation, I guess...it would fit with the reminiscing in the rest of the song.
@missme - I think the Lucinda Williams song is about both.

Is it just me or is this song about masturbation? The whole thing about remember days gone by then taking off her clothes and turning off the light?
It is a beautiful song, but I think Lucinda had something a little less conventional in mind when she wrote this.
A girlfriend of mine gave me a present called the "Doc Johnson" and for some reason this song reminds me of it. ;-)
I too always thought it was about masturbation.
I believe this song to be about shooting drugs.
It's simply about anticipating making love.
The song is making a correlation about the high from shooting drugs to the high of a climax during sex whether its another person or masterbation
"Pierce the skin and the blood runs through"? "Think about you and that long ride"? I hate to be negative, but I've never though anything but that it was about doing Heroin. Not necessarily her, but about somebody??
I was so excited when I heard this song on The L Word! I love Lucinda, she's my favorite!!!
I think this song is so beautiful and simple. Just meeting someone and connecting, coming together, in a way where you just move right in time with each other.
I don't understand the verses though, they're so sad. I guess in the chorus she is maybe reminiscing (sp?) about how they used to move right in time with each other.
Anyways, it's beautiful.
The song is about the early days when she used to shoot up heroine or whatever. That is the reference to the permanent tattoo and piercing the skin in the first verse. Think about it and rest of the song makes perfect sense. She is over the stove in the second verse to sterilize the needle.
