What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Well, along in the twenty first hour
2
When the whole damn grid goes down
3
This is how a party gets started
4
In for a penny, in for a pound
5
All at once the whole joint goes quiet
6
And all the wavy lines go straight
7
One fool among fools is wondering
8
What happens if I die too late?
9
Get back with your dime store nihilism
10
Big daddy's on a glory run
11
Gettin' down on the cellular level
12
Just in case I got to call someone
13
Darkling down on a darkling plain
14
In the dim dank night of the pissin'-down rain
15
Darkling down on the balls of his ass
16
While he prays and waits for the storm to pass
17
Lemme show you where the good thing happens
18
It's a barbershop in Inglewood
19
Too bad we won't get past the bouncer
20
Sadly I've been banned for good
21
Well, there's a coffee shop right ?round the corner
22
The proprietor knows my name
23
Cup of Joe and a Vicks inhaler
24
Now you're ready for the big boy game
25
Steady son come seven come eleven
26
If either one of us can count that high
27
Muscatel if the deal gets dicey
28
Milk and honey in the by and by
29
Darkling down, it's a damn disgrace
30
Going round and round in a very small place
31
Darkling down with a hole in his soul
32
That he can't explain and he can't control
33
For the fun or for the money
34
For the fuck of it or just because
35
Listen friend, this is no damn picnic
36
But let's imagine for a minute that it was
37
Who will feast on this buzzard's banquet?
38
Who will render my heroic bust?
39
Who will choke on my lachrymose musings?
40
Who will eat my zero dust?
41
Who will wear this puke-streaked tunic?
42
Who shall gorge on this cup of spleen?
43
Who will sing about the good, bad and ugly?
44
And all and everything in between?
45
Darkling down, this is God's good man
46
On his hands and knees livin' God's good plan
47
Darkling down and we don't know still
48
When he'll come around if he ever will
49
Darkling down on a zero-G dive
50
And we just can't say will the fool survive
51
Darkling down in a seven-G turn
52
Glowing like a coal in the after burn
