Mister
The Watchmen Lyrics

Little Danah, she leans outside the diner
Young girl named Danah is outside of the restaurant, probably wondering how she ended up there

She sits and wonders, ?How did I get here??
Danah is pondering and questioning how she ended up in her current situation

Mr. Cadillac, he tells Danah where it?s at
A man named Cadillac is enlightening Danah on where the action is and how to get there

When you're with me kid you've got nothing to fear
Cadillac is reassuring Danah that he will protect her when she is with him

Makes you wonder about Danah?s mother
The lyrics question what kind of mother Danah has

Laying down the concrete law
Danah's mother is strict and has an unyielding attitude towards her parenting

Makes you wonder, pop
The lyrics suggest that the father figure ('pop') may also be questioning the family's situation

About that constant buzz you've got
The 'buzz' refers to a state of mind or situation that is always present, leaving the father figure to ponder

I don't need no Bible healing
The artist does not require physical healing through religious means

I don't need Mr. Leary?s whacked out feeling
The artist does not desire to indulge in psychedelic drugs, specifically associated with Timothy Leary

I just need some understanding
The singer desires empathy and understanding from others

I just need a happy home
The artist desires a sense of comfort and contentment in their living situation

Little Danah?s legs, they look just like a road map
Danah's legs are described as being heavily marked with bruises and cuts, resembling the lines of a roadmap

She's got to feed the monkeys crawling round her back
Danah must struggle with various personal demons, illustrated as 'monkeys' on her back

It helps to numb the pain when the rough boys play their games
Danah possibly seeks solace through engaging in reckless behaviors with the 'rough boys'

I wonder if all the big stars started out like that
The lyrics raise the question of whether successful individuals have gone through similar troubling circumstances in their lives

Makse you wonder mother, how you gonna treat your other
The song questions how Danah's mother is going to treat her other children or people she encounters

Will things turn out the same
The lyrics question if history will repeat itself or if circumstances will improve

You're always thinking with your cock
The father figure is accused of being overly focused on sexual matters

I can't take it, I can't take it, I can't take it anymore
The artist expresses frustration and desperation with their current situation

Every time I try to walk, I just end up on the floor
The artist is unable to move forward in their life, feeling stuck and defeated

So put your arms around me, close them way up tight
The artist seeks comfort and affection from someone close to them

I can't breathe, no, I can't breathe, I'm being strangled by the night
The singer feels overwhelmed and suffocated in their current state, unable to see a way out

Mr. Fat Man says, ?You wanna make some extra cash
A character named 'Fat Man' offers Danah an opportunity to make money

You know you'd look real cute dressed up like a nun?
Fat Man suggests Danah dress up like a nun, unwilling to specify why

Mr. Cadillac, he walks in on a blood bath
Cadillac stumbles upon a chaotic and violent scene

Fat Man says, hey I was only having fun
Fat Man attempts to absolve himself of blame for the violent situation that occurred
