Getting Down Lyrics
It's going on 5,
I want you to know
My spirit's alive,
I want you to know
I'm getting down with the awkward moments
I'm getting down with the sour kiss
I'm getting down with the rumors in the back of the car
I'm getting down with it
Signal when you get to the top
Signal when you want me, when you want me to stop
We could, we could crash, we could, we could, burn burn
We could take it, we could we could take it take it in turns
I'm getting downwith your new vocation
Getting down with your cute cut wrist
I'm getting down with the kisses and cross-stitches on it
I'm getting down with it
Here's a message from my old coat pocket
My spirit's alive and I want you to know
I'm getting down with the young drunk lovers
I'm getting down with the one-way pact
I'm getting down with the city and the pity of it
I'm getting down with it
I want you to know
My spirit's alive,
I want you to know
I'm getting down with the sour kiss
I'm getting down with the rumors in the back of the car
I'm getting down with it
Signal when you want me, when you want me to stop
We could, we could crash, we could, we could, burn burn
We could take it, we could we could take it take it in turns
Getting down with your cute cut wrist
I'm getting down with the kisses and cross-stitches on it
I'm getting down with it
My spirit's alive and I want you to know
I'm getting down with the one-way pact
I'm getting down with the city and the pity of it
I'm getting down with it

it's about french model valentine fillol-cordier, jamie's ex
because jamie said so in the nylon interview
In their CD booklet, it definitely says, "burn burn" and not "boom boom"
But... Good one.
Great song. I'm like, officially obsessed with this band. What a great sound.
How do you know who it is about? This song is great. I can't stop playing Midnight Boom on repeat :)
i relate with all of u!!!!!!
Shouldn't the lyric in the last stanza be "I'm getting down with the one way pact," not "pack"? Like the promise was made by one lover but not the other?
That nylon interview was great. This song is also great, but when I saw them live they didn't play it :(
This song to me, personally, is someone getting out of a long term relationship. They are on the market again and "getting down" with being single and dating again. Hence the "awkward moments" and "sour kisses"...
First off, this is not "Getting Down" by DMX. It was written by The Kills.
Secondly, I cannot prove it, but this doesn't make sense to me..."cute cut wrist" should be "cute caress". The Kills are not some emo band who write songs about people cutting their wrists... Doesn't fit with the song, at all.
