Big Dipper Songtext

von Cracker

Cigarettes, and carrot juice
And get yourself a new tattoo
For those sleeveless days of June
I'm sitting on the Cafè Xeno's steps
With a book I haven't started yet,
Watching all the girls walk by...
Could I take you out?
I'll be yours without a doubt
On that Big Dipper
And if the sound of this it frightens you,
We could play it real cool
And act somewhat indifferent
And hey June, why'd you have to come,
Why'd you have to come around, so soon?
I wasn't ready for all this nature
The terrible green green grass
And violent blooms of flowered dresses
And afternoons that make me sleepy
But we could wait awhile
Before we push that dull turnstile
Into the passage
The thousands they have tread
And others sometimes fled
Before the turn came
And we could wait our lives
Before a chance arrives
Before the passage
From the top you can see Monterey
Or think about San Jose
Though I know it's not that pleasant
And hey Jim, Kerouac
(The brother of the famous Jack), [For reference Jack Kerouac was a poet of the Beat movement]
Or so he likes to say.
Lucky bastard
He's sitting on the cafe Xeno's steps
With a girl I'm not over yet
Watching all the world go by
"Boy you're looking bad
Did I make you feel that sad?
I'm honestly flattered."
But if she asks me out,
I'll be hers without a doubt
On that Big Dipper
Cigarettes, and carrot juice
And get yourself a new tattoo
For those sleeveless days of June...
I'm sitting on the Cafè Xeno's steps...
I haven't got the courage yet
I haven't got the courage yet
I haven't got the courage yet.
