It was last night
In an empty warehouse party, oh
And there in the blacklight
I could see the tatoos glowing on your body

Well, oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh

She says to meet her there
Beside the power station, oh
And she said she'd let me stare
If the chemicals don't keep her waiting

Well, oh, oh oh
Whoa, oh oh oh

Well I'm always coming down from the night before where I left you
I'm always coming down, but I'm doing my best to get caught
I'm always coming down from the night before when I beg you
To hear what gets you off
What gets you off
What gets you off

Red fingernail polish
Peeling like a sunburn, oh
That black designer dress
Looks better underneath our feet
Your knees on the dirt

Oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh oh

Well I'm always coming down from the night before where I left you
I'm always coming down, but I'm doing my best to get caught
I'm always coming down from the night before when I beg you
To hear what gets you off
What gets you off
What gets you off
Yeah, what gets you off
Oh oh oh, yeah...

Well I'm always coming down from the night before where I left you
I'm always coming down, but I'm doing my best to get caught
We're always coming down from the night before when I beg you
To hear what gets you off
What gets you off
What gets you off
Oh oh oh...
What gets you off...

    General Comment:wow i love this song so much for so many reasons. i think this song is pretty easy to interpret. he just wants to know what gets this girl off, b/c whatever he does, she just doesn't respond. i was reading his blog, and he said he let an 80+ lady listen to it, and she was all like "thank god there should be more songs about sex," someone should give this lady the bedroom talk, i think :)

    General Comment:He wrote this song because he felt like songs these days were lacking in real sexual desire. He was inspired by an old lady on an airplane who he talked to and she convinced him to get the balls to write this song.

    Song Meaning:This song is about a rave. He met her in an empty warehouse with black lights. The chemicals are whatever drug she's on, probably E due to the sexual nature of this song.

    General Comment:The lyric book actually says the chorus is:

    Well, I'm always coming down
    From the night before where I've left you
    Yeah, I'm always coming down
    But I'm doing my best to get caught
    And, I'm always coming down
    From the night before
    Well I bet you
    To hear that gets you off
    What gets you off?
