Choo Choo
Birch Diane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My baby's got a cherry eye
It comes out when the moon is high
Oh, when the moon is high

Oh, my baby's got a heart of gold
But every time the sun goes low
Oh, oh, you know the love don't show
Just when I think I'm on the road to heaven
I see I'm only on the road to hell

The devil's got my baby
Somebody help me please
The devil's got my baby
I think he's really after me

Oh, my baby's got a talk so sweet
Every time the light gets weak
Oh, the promises don't keep

Thought I was riding on the train to heaven
But I'm on the choo choo straight to hell

The devil's got my baby
Somebody help me please
The devil's got my baby
I think he's really after me

Oh yeah, just when I think I'm on my way to heaven
I see I'm only on my way to hell

The devil's got my baby
Somebody help me please
The devil's got my baby
But I know he's really after me

Oh yeah, the devil's got my baby
Oh, the devil's got my man
The devil's got my baby
I know, I know he really wants me

I know he really wants me
I know he really wants me
I know he really wants me
I know he really wants me

I know he really wants me
I know he really wants me
I know he really wants me

I know he really wants me




I know he really wants me
I know he really wants me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Birch Diane's song "Choo Choo" tell a story about a woman whose partner is under the control of the devil. The lyrics state that the woman's partner has a "cherry eye", which only appears when the moon is high. The term "cherry eye" is a reference to a common condition found in dogs and cats where their third eyelid appears red and swollen. In the context of the song, it could mean that the woman's partner has a hidden evil side that only emerges at certain times.


The woman also talks about her partner's "heart of gold", but how his love disappears when the sun goes down. She struggles to understand and cope with her partner's erratic behavior, and fears that the devil has succeeded in taking control of him. The woman feels hopeless and trapped, believing that the devil is after her as well.


Through the lyrics, the woman expresses her helplessness and confusion as she watches her partner slip away from her grasp. She believed that she was on the road to heaven with her man, but instead, they went down a path leading straight to hell. The song has a powerful message about how sometimes people can change in ways that are beyond our control, and how difficult it can be to deal with the consequences.
