about

This is a song about weather. As in, you don't need a weatherman, etc. etc. It's also about sex.

lyrics

I saw you sitting on the dew point
Back in some old jukebox joint
Waiting to turn hot breaths into tears
The weatherman says to understand takes years
That dew point
Got me feeling out of shape and disjoint
Pardon me, this could be out of line,
But would you please be my trouble in mind?

I ain't got money to burn, but I'd like to learn your viewpoint
And if you'd like to ride, baby, I can abide
I'll take you for a spin, it ain't a sin to rev the engine at the throughpoint
I'll talk sweet 'cause I hate to disappoint
Could've been just a-somethin' you said,
But this atmosphere condition's going straight to my head

Well, honey you're a hoarfrost girl I can tell
90-cent humidity's like ringing a bell
Feels so hot, got to kick off my shoes
Now we're swishin' in the kitchen, he's a bitchin'
Guess I must have hit the dew point
Put a damper on my camper van joint
Rolling up for the mystery tour
Yes, we beat the concrete but hit a patch of manure

Ain't got money to burn, but I'd like to learn your viewpoint
And if you'd like to ride, baby, I can abide
I'll even let you steer, but don't you fear I want to hear the "I do" point
Ain't got a damn thing to anoint
Pardon me, this could be out of line,
But would you please be my trouble in mind?
