Kitten Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I like the way that they talk to me
I like the messed up girls
They're pretty good company
I like the way that you walk
And maybe tonight, I can make you mine
And if it's all right, we can dance in the white light
In the white light
In the white light
I got the punk rock love
Feels like it's 1963
And the girls all dance
While I'm feeling like a refugee
I want to take you home
And maybe tonight, I can make you mine
And if it's all right, we can dance in the white light
In the white light, oh
In the white light, oh
In the white light
Maybe I'm crazy, crazy
Maybe I've got no guarantee
But I've been thinking lately
I'm going to let it be a dream
Baby dream
Baby dream
Baby dream
I want to take you home
Maybe tonight, I can make you mine
And if it's all right,
We can dance,
We can dance,
We can dance,
And come together in the white light
In the white light, oh
In the white light, oh
In the white light, oh
In the white light, oh
In the white light, oh
In the white light, oh
In the white light
"Chinatown" by Kitten is a song about enjoying the company of women, specifically the "Downtown girls" and "messed up girls". The singer expresses a desire to connect with these women and perhaps take one of them home. The references to punk rock and feeling like a refugee may suggest that the singer identifies with the counterculture and marginalized groups. Despite this, the singer remains optimistic and even dreaming of a possible relationship. The repeated refrain of "in the white light" may symbolize a pure, freeing experience of dancing and being with someone they desire.

Had to come listen to this after hearing the new release to remind myself how awesome this band used to be. Damn I wish Chloe had kept it up with this and G#, etc.

Been cleaning out my music collection recently, throwing away lots of old stuff I never listen to anymore. Sometimes felt like throwing pieces of myself away, but it's for the best. Couldn't shake the feeling that I have probably already found all of the music I like (I have a very specific taste and dislike most popular music). Then I found this band. Holy shit. Unbelievable how bands like Kitten slip under the radar. If stuff like this should be on the radio, I would actually enjoy listening to it.

I saw Kitten in Houston. I loved the live performance; full of energy, catchy music and awesome vocals. I'm hooked. You guys need to come back!

Met them all last night. Great bunch of cats indeed. ;) Honestly not my type of music at all, but they're great live and totally cool group of people. And Chloe is awesome. Girl just gives it ALL on stage. She killed it.
