My favorite song by jewel.
In fact, my favorite song ever.
Anyway, here's my full analysis:
Your lungs fill up with concrete
Her voice is all you can hear
Red lips and a screwdriver
Wrapped around some mink-clad queer
And you know that she's a diamond
In this damned jukebox hell
'Cause only fools' gold fools fools
In two-bit hotels
But she's cooler than all that
A real high-class cat
Queen of the last dance rodeo
I think this part is about Jewel herself getting up on stage in front of all the men back in Alaska. Everybody is immediately entranced by her voice and feel a longing for an angel of their own.
But under the gaslamp the air is thick and velvetine
Your bones fill with hunger
Your heart fills with longing
Things are getting serious at this time in your life, and it's time to find somebody to love, something real.
You're no longer human, you're an insatiable hole
You wanna bury your face forever in the navel of her soul
'Cause you know
All you need is a heart to call home
All you need is a heart to call home
That's all
Simple. The only thing you need in your life is a heart that you can call your home.
Light bulbs and nylons and plastic chandeliers
Objects are only objects
They can't feel when you're near
And tangerine lips and lily-white breasts
These things are eternal
Inside them humanity rests
Her skin is like a seashell
You listen to her soul
Like an old-time radio show
It's time to realize that everything superficial and material in your life isn't going to cut it anymore, not when you could have an actual human being as a companion.
Don't wander too far
My one constant star
Darkness exists except where you are
My feet are filled with wandering
They follow your own
'Cause everywhere you are feels like home
Easily my favorite part of the song, especially the music that follows it. Here Jewel is speaking out about the person she loves and how he is her home.
So search all you miners
You hunters of dreams
Look in the alleyways
For what you know is not what it seems
And feign all you maidens
But don't resist too long
Least you look behind you
And see your own shadow is gone
Don't you know it's the last rodeo?
You gotta find yourself a cowboy
Someone to keep you warm when it's cold
Everybody - Understand that this is your last chance to find a love to warm your heart for the rest of your life.
The song name Last Dance Rodeo has to do with the idea that this is the last dance of the evening, it's your last chance to ask that special someone for a dance.
