A-Punk lyrics

Songwriters: Baio, Christopher Joseph; Batmanglij, Rostam; Koenig, Ezra; Tomson, Christopher Willi

Johanna drove slowly into the city
The Hudson River all filled with snow
She spied the ring on His Honor's finger
Oh-oh-oh

A thousand years in one piece of silver
She took it from his lilywhite hand
Showed no fear – she'd seen the thing
In the Young Men's Wing at Sloan-Kettering

Look outside at the raincoats coming, say OH
Look outside at the raincoats coming, say OH

Ay-ay-ay-ay
Ay-ay-ay

His Honor drove southward seeking exotica
Down to the Pueblo huts of New Mexico
Cut his teeth on turquoise harmonicas
Oh-oh-oh

I saw Johanna down in the subway
She took an apartment in Washington Heights
Half of the ring lies here with me
But the other half's at the bottom of the sea

Look outside at the raincoats coming, say OH
Look outside at the raincoats coming, say OH
Look outside at the raincoats coming, say OH
Look outside at the raincoats coming, say OH

Ay-ay-ay-ay
Ay-ay-ay-ay

it's about an ex-wife johanna
hence the reference to the ring
she's driving away, far away
your honor=judge...divorce court perhaps?
raincoats=rainy days, sadness and lonely
she's driving to discover herself perhaps...the ring is with him because its their wedding ring, the other is at the bottom of the sea, she probably threw it away
referring to the judge who is going to new mexico
it is probably showing his hypocrisy about the ideas of marriage for he is probably cheating on his wife...
idk, thats just what i think

A girl called johanna leaves him who (maybe they were marired and she throw the ring into the sea..) half is with him the otehr halfs in the bottom of the sea... Its a very up beat and fast tempo song so gove the feel of happyness but its filled with sorrow.. i dont really no VW songs really dont have much (100% correct meaning) as there lyrics are not always linked so its really just hoew you feel the song.
