Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One way or another I'm gonna find ya
I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another I'm gonna win ya
I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another I'm gonna see ya
I'm gonna meetcha meetcha meetcha meetcha
One day, maybe next week
I'm gonna meetcha, I'm gonna meetcha, I'll meetcha
I will drive past your house
And if the lights are all down
I'll see who's around
One way or another I'm gonna find ya
I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another I'm gonna win ya
I'll getcha, I'll getcha
One way or another I'm gonna see ya
I'm gonna meetcha meetcha meetcha meetcha
One day, maybe next week
I'm gonna meetcha, I'll meetcha

And if the lights are all out
I'll follow your bus downtown
See who's hanging out

One way or another I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna give you the slip, a slip of the lip or another
I'm gonna lose ya, I'm gonna trick ya
One way or another I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna trick ya trick ya trick ya trick ya
One way or another I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna give you the slip

I'll walk down the mall
Stand over by the wall
Where I can see it all
Find out who ya call
Lead you to the supermarket checkout
Some specials and rat food, get lost in the crowd

One way or another I'm gonna getcha,
I'll getcha, I'll getcha getcha getcha getcha
(where I can see it all, find out who ya call)
One way or another I'm gonna getcha,
I'll getcha, I'll getcha getcha getcha getcha
(where I can see it all, find out who ya call)
One way or another I'm gonna getcha,
I'll getcha, I'll getcha getcha getcha getcha




(where I can see it all, find out who ya call)

After I discovered Silence I was immediately hooked to your music, and was amazed at how small you guys seem to be in terms of popularity. This is amazing! The overall message is very important too, and it really does feel like no one seems to care.
