Waiting For My Man
Psihomodo Pop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got 26 dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington 125
feelin' sick and dirty
for a day and a life
Huh, I'm waiting for my man
Hey white boy, what you doin' uptown
Pardon me sir, it's furthest from my mind
I'm just waitin' for a dear-dear friend of mine
I'm waiting for my man, come on
Here he comes, he's all dressed in black
PR shoes and a big straw hat
He's never early, he's always late
first thing you learn is that you always gotta wait
I'm waiting for my man
Up to a brownstone, up three flights of stairs
Everybody's pinned you and nobody cares
He's got the works, gives you sweet taste
then you gotta split because you got no time to waste
I'm waiting for my man
Hey baby, don't you holler, don't you ball and shout
I'm feeling good, I'm gonna work it on out
I'm feeling good, feeling so fine
until tomorrow, but that's just some other time
I'm waiting for my man
I'm waiting for my man
I'm waiting for my man
man-man-man-man-man-man-man
The song “Waiting for My Man” by Psihomodo Pop is a cover of ‘60s rock legend Lou Reed’s iconic song. The lyrics speak of the singer’s struggle with finding and waiting for his drug dealer or friend, who’s either late or hasn’t showed up yet. He’s waiting in Lexington, possibly for heroin, which is referenced when he sings “he’s got the works, gives you sweet taste.” Though the lyrics may seem straightforward, there’s a deeper agony that can be felt through the lead singer’s vocals, which makes it more than just a song about drugs.
The repetition of certain lines like “I’m waiting for my man” or “feelin’ sick and dirty” add to the feeling of desperation and anxiety. The call-and-response section between the singer and another voice adds to the sense of urgency and the chaotic nature of waiting in such an environment. The line, “Hey white boy, what you doin' uptown, Hey white boy, you chasin' my women around”, breaks the fourth wall, introducing the listener into the dangerous world the singer is living in.
