Piledriver Waltz Lyrics

Cover art for Piledriver Waltz lyrics by Alex Turner

"Mysteries flashing amber Go green when you answer But the red on the rest of the questionnaire never changes

I heard the news that you're planning To shoot me out of a cannon"

I think the first stanza is referring to a traffic light- mysteries flashing AMBER, go GREEN when you answer, but on the RED on the rest of the questionnaire never changes

And then the second one points to heartbreak or deceit- I mean who would you shoot out of a cannon? Or who do you see shooting you out of a cannon?

My Interpretation
