Pulp Fiction Lyrics

Smoke and mirrors and everything nice
I wasn't married to the weekend, I was banging’ on the back end
Kamikaze and Miami Vice
She shook a few of my favorite things
Like cloak and dagger, see Seabury Quinn
I couldn't keep it all together, I was spooking in the end zone
Arigatou, go-go gadget arms
She only took me for 10,000 yen

It’s like a bad dream, something from the back of a magazine
Black and white and cheaply put together
Like a slasher film
I’m torn in opposite directions
The plot sucks but the killings are gorgeous

God damn these killings are gorgeous

Darkened corners at every bend
I wasn't sucking down the poison; I was working on the QT
Shaky shaky, all over the world, she tried a cartwheel at every turn
The creepy crawlies, a case of revenge,
I had the martyrs that I bartered from the barons for the bandoleers
Karaoke, a feminine flaw, I had a feeling this was not the end

It’s like a bad dream, something from the back of a magazine
Black and white and cheaply put together
Like a slasher film
I’m torn in opposite directions
The plot sucks but the killings are gorgeous

And like a nightmare, covering the tracks that had brought you there
Paranoid and frozen in the heavens
Like a slasher film
I’m torn in opposite directions
The plot sucks but the killings are gorgeous

Cave in, cave out
Nothing but nervous doubt
Waiting for the big bang to get me
Waiting for the big bang to get me
Waiting for the big bang

Wrapped in plastic, we all get the ends
She had to take it to the majors couldn't keep it on the down low
Silly rabbit, good grief, también
Another stiff at the scene of the crime

It’s like a bad dream, something from the back of a magazine
Black and white and cheaply put together
Like a slasher film
I’m torn in opposite directions
The plot sucks but the killings are gorgeous

And like a nightmare, covering the tracks that had brought you there
Paranoid and frozen in the heavens
Like a slasher film
I’m torn in opposite directions
The plot sucks but the killings are gorgeous

God damn these killings are gorgeous

my favourite so far. the chorus is fantastic.

"?? Like Coke n' egger ???" could be Cloak and Dagger. Not sure, though

This is my favorite off the new album by far, I love it =D

Most of it looks good, but there are a few things I hear differently. I agree that it's probably "cloak and daggers." There's an "I'm" before "torn in opposite directions" which makes me think that maybe "like a slasher film" goes with that line rather than the line above it, but i'm not sure. "The creepy calls" should be "the creepy crawlies."

The second iteration of the chorus should be the same as the third, not the first. Also, "A wicked" sounds like "and like a," and "heavens" might be "heather" (the plant, not the name =P)

I hear

Smoke and mirrors and everything nice I wasn't married to the weekend I was begging on my back end

Kamikaze and Miami Vice (?) She shook a few of my favorite things

Like cloak and daggers So I see Barry Quin (Not sure at all about this one) I couldn't keep it all together I was spooking in the endzone

Arigatō! Go-go-gadget arms She only took me for 10,000 yen

It's like a bad dream Something from the back of a magazine Black and white and cheaply put together Like a Slasher film I'm torn in opposite directions The plot sucks but the killings are gorgeous

Darkened corners at every bend I wasn't sucking down the poison I was working on the QT (I assume it's not "Working on the cutie")

Shaky shaky all over the world She tried a cartwheel on every turn

The creepy crawlies, the case of revenge I had the martyrs that I bartered from the barons for the bandoliers Karaoke, a feminine flaw I had a feeling this was not the end.

It's like a bad dream Something from the back of a magazine Black and white and cheaply put together Like a Slasher film I'm torn in opposite directions The plot sucks but the killings are gorgeous

And like a nightmare Covering the tracks that have brought you there Paranoid, frozen in the Heathers (Probably a reference from the movie Heathers, somewhat a slasher film*) Like a slasher film I'm torn in opposite directions The plot sucks but the killings are gorgeous

Cave in, cave out, nothing but nervous doubt Waiting for the big bang to get me

Cave in, cave out, nothing but nervous doubt Waiting for the big bang to get me Waiting for the big bang to get me

Wrapped in plastic We all get the end She had to take it to the majors Couldn't keep it on the down low

Silly rabbit, good grief 'til the end Another stiff at the end of the crime

It's like a bad dream Something from the back of a magazine Black and white and cheaply put together Like a slasher film I'm torn in opposite directions The plot sucks, but the killings are gorgeous

It's like a nightmare Covering the tracks that have brought you there Paranoid, frozen in the Heathers Like a slasher film I'm torn in opposite directions The plot sucks, but the killings are gorgeous

Goddamn these killings are gorgeous

*And to the people that disagree with Heathers' slasherness, I know. But it's the closest to the lyrics that still makes some sense.

I am pretty sure its Tambien which happens to mean also in spanish, seeing that this song has many foreign references this could probably be correct.

Pretty sure it's "silly rabbit, good grief, tambien." It doesn't sound like 'til the end.

this is one of my favourite songs on the album.

It is fantastic.

Cover art for Pulp Fiction lyrics by Motion City Soundtrack

sounds just like an eve 6 song. that's a compliment btw

My Opinion

I thought the exact same thing.

Cover art for Pulp Fiction lyrics by Motion City Soundtrack

One of the best lyrics they've ever written. It's so like their first record but all glammed up it's amazing. It has a so nice vibe, so catchy but yet so inspired, MCS got way way better this time around. Honestly guys, if you ever read this, you're an inspiration. I'm still thinking about the hidden meaning behind all this pop culture verses which are remarkably well done, I can't stress that enough. So far I'm thinking it's about a complicated relationship, but I'll get back on ya laters. Btw anyone knows if the band has twitter? I'd love to be inspired by any of the guys... get me @Pepejosh
