Motorhead
Corduroy Lyrics

Sunrise, wrong side of another day,
It's early morning and the singer feels like it's just another day that has started off badly.

Sky high and six thousand miles away,
The singer feels high or disconnected from reality, almost like they are in a different place.

Don't know how long I've been awake,
The singer has been up for so long that they've lost track of time.

Wound up in an amazing state,
Despite feeling tired or disconnected, the artist is in a state of awe or wonder over something.

Can't get enough,
The artist is addicted to this feeling, whatever it is they're experiencing.

And you know it's righteous stuff,
The feeling or experience the singer is having is good and justifiable.

Goes up like prices at Christmas,
Whatever the singer is experiencing, it's getting better or more intense like how prices go up during the holiday season.

Motorhead, you can call me Motorhead, alright
The artist is embracing this feeling or experience and identifying with it by taking on the nickname Motorhead.

Brain dead, total amnesia,
The artist feels mentally drained and forgetful.

Get some mental anesthesia,
The artist wants to numb their mind to forget about their troubles or problems.

Don't move, I'll shut the door and kill the lights,
The singer needs to be alone in order to cope with whatever they're going through and shuts out the outside world.

And if I can't be wrong I could be right,
The artist is confident in their actions or attitude, even if it's not necessarily the right thing to do.

All good clean fun,
The singer's actions might seem reckless or dangerous, but they believe it's all harmless fun.

Have another stick of gum,
The singer wants to distract themselves by doing something simple like chewing gum.

Man, you look better already,
The singer is trying to reassure themselves that everything is going to be okay.

Motorhead, remember me now Motorhead, alright
The artist is reinforcing their identification with their nickname, Motorhead, and wants to be remembered this way.

Fourth day, five day marathon,
The artist has been going through their experience for multiple days in a row.

We're moving like a parallelogram,
The singer and whoever is with them are moving in a way that's uncoordinated, almost like a parallelogram's shape.

I guess I'll see you all on the ice,
The singer may not know what's going to happen next or where they'll end up, but hopes to meet up with those they're with later on.

I should be tired,
The artist acknowledges that they should be exhausted, but they're not.

And all I am is wired,
Instead of being tired, the artist feels energized or stimulated.

Ain't felt this good for an hour,
The artist hasn't felt as good as they do now in a while, implying that they've been struggling with something for some time.

Motorhead, remember me now, Motorhead alright
The singer is once again repeating their nickname and wants to be remembered this way.
