Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody's been there
Everyone everyone
Desolation angel
On the cover of my paper
Loves everyone everyone
Mild mouthed Rita
She's a Chevy Chase cheetah
Loves everyone everyone
Teddy's going steady
He's a silver-plated poet
Loves everyone loves everyone
Prophet pumped the car-scar
Deeper only sweeter
Loves everyone

A track that utterly defies classification, which I have been mesmerized by ever since I first heard it as a very young child. "Weird," "Ominous", "Menacing", and "Surreal" would all be accurate descriptions of it. No guitars. Multiple overdubbed bass parts. Primal, hypnotic drums, but no snare. Strange stream-of-consciousness lyrics which proclaim "rock on" in a song that's not really a rock song at all. And the production is IMMACULATE. God, this still sounds so unique.
