Brush Strokes
Simon Patterson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All right, you might as well know. We went to dinner at the Flamingo Bar and Grill. And by about 10: 00 we were playing footsies under the table and having dessert like the good old days. And then we went to the hotel. And then it happened.
What happened?
We balled, and we balled, and we balled until he dropped dead.
Touché. Let's go to lunch!




Overall Meaning

Later on, they went to a hotel where they engaged in sexual activity.


The second character is surprised by the first character's admission and asks what happened. The first character responds by saying they "balled" (had sex) over and over again until their partner "dropped dead." Despite the shocking revelation, the conversation quickly changes to a more cheerful tone as the second character suggests going to lunch.
