Jesus & Austria
Cake Bake Betty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Call the neighbours
Cos its half past ten
I'm a fiery gal looking out for my man
Gotta tell you
I've got nothing left
My toes are frozen
But I love this town to death
I just can't remember mouth shapes
Or the way that your eyes
Stab at that empty space

Hold my hand and I will hold you up
I've got lots of pills and I like to eat them up
A stranger told me I'm his one true love
A night full of fingers
Jesus and Austria

What's the use of trying to find us
If you know damn well
You're just gonna give this up

Well you can take your teeth
And can I, Mr please
No you don't
You slug, you slug your priest
No you don't
You slug, you slug, your priest
Your priest
Your priest

Well you're contagious and I got no light
You showed me constellations in the grass one night
I would smile though I got no cash
I like and empty bottle and a Jesus on my dash

I just can't remember your movements




Just sometimes I feel
Like this is all there is.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Jesus & Austria" by Cake Bake Betty tell the story of a woman who is desperately trying to hold on to her relationship with her man. She calls the neighbors to tell them that it's half past ten, and she's a fiery gal looking out for her man. She has nothing left, and her toes are frozen, but she loves her town to death. However, she can't remember the mouth shapes or the way her man's eyes would look at that empty space. Despite this, she still wants to hold his hand and support him, even if it means taking lots of pills and seeing strangers who claim to be her one true love. In the end, the woman is left feeling lost and alone, unable to remember the movements of her man and questioning whether this is all there is.


The song's title comes from a name that was given to a mixed drink at The Brass Rail, a bar in Bloomington, Indiana. The drink was made with red wine and peach Schnapps, and it became popular among college students.


Line by Line Meaning

Call the neighbours
Notify the neighbourhood to come to my aid


Cos its half past ten
It's getting late in the night


I'm a fiery gal looking out for my man
I am a passionate woman who is protective of my partner


Gotta tell you
I need to confess


I've got nothing left
I am emotionally and physically exhausted


My toes are frozen
I am feeling numb and uncomfortable


But I love this town to death
Despite my discomfort, I have an unwavering attachment to this place


I just can't remember mouth shapes
I have forgotten the way you kissed me


Or the way that your eyes Stab at that empty space
I am struggling to recall the intense look you gave me when you were lost in thought


Hold my hand and I will hold you up
Let's support each other through tough times


I've got lots of pills and I like to eat them up
I have a stash of drugs that I enjoy taking


A stranger told me I'm his one true love
An unknown person claimed to love me deeply


A night full of fingers Jesus and Austria
An eventful night with many experiences, including religion and travel


What's the use of trying to find us
There's no point in searching for us


If you know damn well You're just gonna give this up
You're aware that you'll abandon this relationship


Well you can take your teeth And can I, Mr please
I don't care what you do, as long as you leave me alone


No you don't You slug, you slug your priest
You're not doing what you should be doing, you drunken fool


Well you're contagious and I got no light
Your negative attitude is impacting me and I don't have any positivity to spare


You showed me constellations in the grass one night
You once pointed out the stars in the sky to me when we were lying on the grass


I would smile though I got no cash
I would remain positive despite being broke


I like and empty bottle and a Jesus on my dash
I find comfort in a bottle and a religious symbol in my car


I just can't remember your movements
I find it difficult to recall your gestures and body language


Just sometimes I feel Like this is all there is.
At times, I feel like my current situation is all there is to life.

Call the neighbors 'cause it's half past ten
I'm a fiery gal lookin' out for my man
Gotta tell you, I got nothin' left
My toes are frozen but I love this town to death

I just can't remember mouth shapes
Or the way that your eyes
Stab at that empty space

Hold my hand and I will hold you up
I've got lots of pills and I like to eat them up
A stranger told me I'm his one true love
At night, full of fingers, Jesus and Austria

What's the use of trying to find us?
If you know damn well
You're just gonna give this up

Well, you can take your teeth
And can I, mister, please?
Well, you can take your teeth, yeah
And can I, mister, please? No, you don't
You slug, you slug, you priest
I said, no you don't
You slug, you slug
You priest, you priest, you priest!


You're contagious and I got no light
You showed me constellations in the grass one night
I would smile but I got no cash
I like an empty bottle and a Jesus on my dash

I just can't remember your movements
Just sometimes I feel
Like this is all there is
