One Sick Puppy
Electric Six Lyrics

I just bought a gun and I'm one sick puppy
I recently acquired a firearm and I'm someone who enjoys doing cruel, twisted things

I'm always having fun 'cause I'm one sick puppy
I find pleasure in disturbing or perverse activities

And every barracuda gets started as a guppy
Every aggressive person or animal starts off small and innocent, like a guppy fish

Needing words of wisdom when you're one sick puppy
Those of us with deviant tendencies sometimes find guidance beneficial, given our tendencies

But I can still turn it on
Despite my questionable actions, I am still capable of functioning and carrying out tasks

Launching ICBMs off my lawn
Metaphor for doing something dangerous, destructive, or offensive

Baby, baby, baby, baby, yeah
Repetitive and meaningless phrase used for effect and as a lyrical filler

Karma is a big, mean, animal looking for its next meal
The idea that people who do wrong or evil things will eventually face consequences or punishment for their actions

In your bedroom while I'm on top of you
Indicating a desire to take control or dominate

Demonstrating the latest positions
Implying a knowledge or experience of various sexual positions

A baby is born and I'm one sick puppy
Even when something innocent or joyful happens, I am still someone who has disturbing tendencies

A helmet is worn and I'm one sick puppy
Even when safety precautions or protective measures are taken, I am still someone who has troubling behavior

And every impressario starts as a yuppy
Anyone who is successful and influential in their field likely started as an ambitious, privileged person

They're looking to control me 'cause I'm one sick puppy
Others may seek to regulate or manage me because of my strange, abnormal tendencies

But I never saw the lights change
Metaphor for not paying attention or being oblivious to warning signs or red flags

Every face can be re-arranged
Indicating a willingness or desire to harm or manipulate others

Jesus was a guy who said some stuff long ago
Referring to the religious figure Jesus Christ, but with a flippant, dismissive tone

And he had a rich dad who wouldn't chill or let him go
Mocking the biblical narrative of Jesus' father, implying that he was overbearing or controlling

Over to see what Mary is doing tonight
Making a crude and disrespectful reference to Mary, another biblical figure

This is the sound of my sound breaking down
Suggesting a loss of control or stability in oneself or one's work

No chance in hell of turning it around
Hopeless or pessimistic outlook on the possibility of fixing or changing one's situation

My sound...is going down
Making reference to the chorus of the song, which suggests a decline or deterioration

I'm just around the corner and I'm one sick puppy
Even when I'm nearby or accessible, I'm still someone with concerning or unpleasant quirks

I'm done with law and order 'cause I'm one sick puppy
Implies a lack of respect for authority or rules

And if you want to see me all you do is say "suppy"
Making light of the phrase "What's up?" as a way to initiate conversation or ask someone how they are doing

I got into rock and roll 'cause I'm one sick puppy
Choosing a career or lifestyle in music may reflect a desire to rebel or go against the norm

Come over a little closer
Invitation for intimacy or physical proximity

Be my Kenny Rogers' Roaster
Reference to an American fast food chain, but applied in a nonsensical or metaphorical way

Baby, baby, it's a nightmare
Repeating the phrase as a way to convey a sense of unease or discomfort

I don't have much to offer you, but wait a minute what's this?
Implying that despite having little to contribute, there is still something noteworthy or valuable

A free membership to the sisterhood of things that taste good
Suggesting a crude, sexual joke about women and their bodies
