But you're motoring You're motoring --- "Sister Christian" as written by Kelly Keagy Lyrics © THE BICYCLE MUSIC COMPANY Lyrics powerd by LyricFind |

Oh the time has come.
" Meaning like an old lady, her time is almost due. "
And you know that you're the only one
To say O.K.
" She's the only one, who can fight her battles and say O.K. "
Where you going
What you looking for
You know those boys
Don't want to play no more with you
It's true
" Meaning the boys wanna do more then play, have sex and it's really true. "
You're motoring
What's your price for flight
In finding mister right
You'll be alright tonight
" Motoring, she's in an car going different places to go for her decision. "
" What's your price for flight, Meaning How far is she's really going for it, In finding mister right, Meaning the boy of her dreams, she wants to have. "
" You'll be alright tonight, " Meaning, Will you be O.K. and Don't get hurt. "
Babe you know
You're growing up so fast
And mama's worrying
That you won't last
To say let's play
Sister Christin
There's so much in life
Don't you give it up
Before your time is due
It's true
It's true yeah
" She's not little anymore and she's gone most of the time. "
" Like an child, You wanna do more things than be an child, so you have to grow up and do everything before you're too old to anything. "
Motoring
What's your price for flight
You've got him in your sight
And driving thru the night
Motoring
What's your price for flight
In finding mister right
You'll be alright tonight
" She's not making the right decision and he is not right for her. "
Motoring
What's your price for flight
In finding mister right
You'll be alright tonight
(repeat)
Sister Christian
Oh the time has come
And you know that you're the only one
To say O.K.
But you're motoring
You're motoring
" At the end, she learns her lesson and go it like " That boys her age don't want to play, they wanna have sex and leave her, and she was not making the right decision about life and this guy. "
Mainly saying that " Her big brother is trying to get that in her head and cause boys like him, know what goes on in an boys head. Just her big bro trying to protect her.
And reality check in life.

It was written and sung by the band's drummer, Kelly Keagy, for his sister. It was the band's biggest hit, peaking at number five on the Billboard Hot 100, and staying on the charts for 24 weeks. It also reached #1 in Canada[1]
The song is about Keagy's little sister, Christy. Keagy wrote the song at his apartment, near Divisadero and California streets in San Francisco, after he had just returned from a visit to his hometown of Eugene, Oregon. He had been struck at how fast his teenaged sister, 10 years younger than he was, was growing up.[2]
"After we started playing it a lot, Jack turned to me and said, 'What exactly are you saying?' " Keagy recalled. "He thought the words were Sister Christian, instead of Sister Christy, so it just stuck." He added that the real Christy was so mortified when the song came out she nearly changed her name.[2]
The lyric, "You're motoring. What's your price for flight? In finding Mr. Right?" is the subject of much debate. The band stated in a VH-1 Behind the Music interview[3] that the term "motoring" was synonymous with the term "cruising.

Compounding it for me is the song's title, and the way it is addressed to a little sister. To me it is a terribly sad song. Life whittled down into pusuit of an addiction--Everyone around you getting mentally ready to mourn your death--not even really wanting to live anymore..while your little sister takes it all in without comprehending.
So I feel better now that I've shared what this song means to me with the entire world. I'm not sure how many people will read it. Maybe Night Ranger--who are probably a bunch of geriatric Q-tips by now with nothing better to do than surf the 'net looking for evidence of their greatness, will read this and be pleased.
So I'm not sticking to the lyrics really but just what it means to me. And the funny thing is, apparently the vast majority of the world has forgotten about this song, judging from the scarcity of posts about it on this site. I don't own it on CD, however, my husband is a bartender and I will go have a drink while he's working and almost always play this on the Juke. Drives all the regulars crazy. People ten years older than me have said it reminds them of slow-dancing in high school. Funny that it could mean something so trite to one person while for me I nearly cry every time I hear it.
Ok I'm done now.

Then my gym teacher came in with a, "Brandon, who sings that song", he responded "Night Ranger", and my gym teacher responded, "Well, let them sing it." It was just one of those classical funny moments, but I decided to check the song out and I love it.
It's an amazing song.

"Motoring" - for me it means she's driven by something. Driven like determined victim looking for justice, or addicted person in need of a drug. And she is paying an extremely high price for allowing herself to be driven by illusion, and that price is her youth, her life. She's driven by her fantasy about Mr Right. But it's just a mere illusion and the singer is trying to help her get real by saying - you'll be all right with some 'average' guy. "Tonight" means now, not in some distant future.
The force of illusion, of fantasy about vague Mr. Right is so strong, that she is missing plenty of opportunities in her life, and that is starting to worry her mother.
She is still young enough to get happy, fulfilled life, but lives a life of resignation almost like an old woman, whose time is due.
The singer is trying to help her see the reality and abandon treacherous illusions. The dreams she pursue are reality in front of her. She just needs to open her eyes. And heart.
"Christian" - for me it is quite personal, as I saw many religious or rather overly pious religious devoted girls living that illusionary way, missing opportunities. And perhaps "Sister Christian" is slowly taking a life-path of a spinster...
Although she is told how dangerous her lifestyle is, she doesn't care and still engages in such a illusionary way of living.
