That Beep Lyrics
Kid, can you wake up
Boy, it ain't long 'til the warning arrives
And it's the shake up
That's got me waiting for your dynamite
I never knew your middle name
No need to play that game
I called your doctor up and he promised me pain was fun
Tried a little bit of moving on
It lasted way too long
Dressed up as bubblegum
I'm stuck to your shoe, let's run, can you give me that
Two-timing your state of mind
These feet got left behind
We dive so deep we keep in touch with your buried bones
Can I get a little fading on? (Fade it, fade it)
Don't be long
Dressed up as bubblegum
I'm stuck to your shoe, let's run, can you give me that
Do they mistake us
For an eight that's turning into a nine
Said if I play the evil lover can I trade you for your alibi
Done living like a runaway
Break those hearts so carefully
Done living like a runaway
Every time that I turn around, I let you down, you read my mind
(Bring the beep back!)
You got that beep, that beep, that baw bah baw
You got that beep, that beep, that baw bah baw
You got that beep, that beep, that baw bah baw
You got that beep, that beep, that beep
Boy, it ain't long 'til the warning arrives
And it's the shake up
That's got me waiting for your dynamite
No need to play that game
I called your doctor up and he promised me pain was fun
Tried a little bit of moving on
It lasted way too long
Dressed up as bubblegum
I'm stuck to your shoe, let's run, can you give me that
These feet got left behind
We dive so deep we keep in touch with your buried bones
Can I get a little fading on? (Fade it, fade it)
Don't be long
Dressed up as bubblegum
I'm stuck to your shoe, let's run, can you give me that
For an eight that's turning into a nine
Said if I play the evil lover can I trade you for your alibi
Done living like a runaway
Break those hearts so carefully
Done living like a runaway
Every time that I turn around, I let you down, you read my mind
(Bring the beep back!)
You got that beep, that beep, that baw bah baw
You got that beep, that beep, that baw bah baw
You got that beep, that beep, that beep

this song is about that beep...that beep...that BAWM BAH BAWMWWWW
I think the line is:
I called your doctor up and he promised me pain was fun
That's what I hear, anyway.
The lyrics are posted on their myspace blog.
1) Second verse starts, "Two timing your state of mind" 2) "play the evil lover"--present tense. 3) officially, it's spelled "That Boh b-Boh" not that it really matters.
Decent song. The new album can't come soon enough.
"Dressed up as bubblegum I'm stuck to your shoe, let's run, can you give me that"
Favourite line <3
Perhaps it's about moving on??
HOW CAN YOU HATE IT?! IT'S SO DAMN CATCHY! Yeah, about trying to move on but not being able to? Fuck I love that beep, that beep, that baw bah baw : )
Cool! Thanks heeps, i was really struggling to work out the "Said if I played the evil lover can I trade you for your alibi" part. Also I would like to comment on two parts i dont think are right: 1) "I called your doctor up and he promised me pain was fun 2) "(Bring the beep back)"
Thanks! Have a look and try listening again and see what you think. Also with the (Bring the beep back) I think it makes heeps more sence because he is pretty much saying bring the beep back. lol. Thanks again..
Also, i thought I might share that i got to go to sound relief with my Dad. I never really knew much about Architecture In Helsinki, But after seeing them then i really like them now!! I really like this song and i still don't know a lot of there songs, maybe eight. But out of the songs i know this one is probebly my favourite... then maybe wishbone.
My interpretation:
"Boy it ain't long till the warning arrives And it's the shake up That's got me waiting for your dynamite"
Being in a relationship with someone who blows up like dynamite. The 'Beep' being the warning of an explosion.
"Dressed up as bubblegum I'm stuck to your shoe, let's run"
Being walked on, abused.
Cute song :P
Hate this song. HATE it. So annoying.
