Sacred Trickster
Joan as Police Woman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want you to levitate me
Don't you love me yet
Press up against the amp
Turn up the treble, don't forget

Getting dizzy, sitting around
Sacred trickster in another tight sound
Getting dizzy, sitting around
Sacred trickster in another tight sound

I wish I could be music on a tree
Noise Nomads and me
Levitating on the ground

What's it like to be a girl in a band
Oh I don't quite understand
That's so quaint to hear
I feel so faint my dear

Getting dizzy, sitting around
Sacred trickster in another tight sound
Getting dizzy, sitting around
Sacred trickster in another tight sound

I wish I could be sitting in a tree
Just you, you and me
K I S S I N G !

Getting dizzy, sitting around
Sacred trickster in another tight sound
Getting dizzy, sitting around
Sacred trickster in another tight sound
Getting dizzy, sitting around
Sacred trickster in another tight sound




Getting dizzy, sitting around
Sacred trickster in another tight sound

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Sacred Trickster" by Joan as Police Woman are a mix of desire, curiosity, and feeling somewhat lost in a male-dominated industry. The singer wants someone to lift her up, to elevate her and help her reach a new level. She wonders if she is loved yet, or if there is someone who might love her, with all her flaws and idiosyncrasies.


The references to noise music, levitating, and tight sounds suggest a feeling of disorientation and confusion, as if the singer is searching for a path or a way to express herself. The question "What's it like to be a girl in a band" implies a sense of otherness, as if she feels like she doesn't fit in or belong. The response she gets - "That's so quaint to hear/I feel so faint my dear" - suggests that her concerns are not taken seriously, or that she is dismissed as silly or insignificant.


Overall, "Sacred Trickster" is a reflective and introspective song, with a mix of desire, confusion, and a sense of being somewhat lost. The lyrics suggest that the singer is searching for something deeper and more meaningful, as she navigates the complexities of being a woman in a male-dominated industry.
