Killer
Juliette Lewis and The Licks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could tell by your hooded eyes
You got the ladies in waiting
Lighting up like fire flies
I always knew you were a killer
I could tell by your bloody guitar
You like to stab it into everything
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, Mr. Fun
Oh, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang it up
Oh, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, here she comes
Oh, get, get, get, get, get, get, get it and run
I watch you walk around the lake
Like a cool breeze on the take
Give in to me, give in to me
Red finger nails wrapped around your neck
Innocence locked up like a train wreck
You got your 17 reasons for pleasure seeking
Don't give them to me
Chompin' on pussy like chewing gum
Just another way you eat your young
She's calling for you while you're coming for me
See-see-come for me
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, Mr. Fun
Oh, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang it up
Oh, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, here she comes
Oh, get, get, get, get, get, get, get it and run
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, Mr. Fun
Oh, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang it up
Oh, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, here she comes
Oh, get, get, get, get, get, get, get it and run
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, Mr. Fun
(Aha, you're so fun, Mr. Fun)
Oh, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang it up
(I like to watch you work)
Ooh, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, here she comes
(What's that dripping from your tongue?)
Oh, get, get, get, get, get, get, get it and run
(Truly killer, you're such a killer)
The song "Killer" by Juliette & The Licks is a fast-paced rock song that speaks of a dangerous and unpredictable individual. The lyrics suggest that the person being referred to is a murderer, and the singer can tell by the individual's "hooded eyes" and "bloody guitar." The individual is described as having a way with women, who are drawn to them like fireflies. However, the singer is not fooled by their charms and is aware of their true nature.
The song's chorus is repetitive, with "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, Mr. Fun / Oh, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang it up / Oh, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, here she comes / Oh, get, get, get, get, get, get, get it and run" being repeated multiple times. The lyrics suggest that the person being referred to is a master manipulator who preys on others for their own pleasure. The final lines of the song, "Truly killer, you're such a killer," reiterate the idea that this person is dangerous and should not be trusted.
