What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Rings 'round his eyes
2
Tracks down his arm
3
His fans are confused and his friends are alarmed
4
His wife doesn't talk
5
Hates when he's gone
6
Counts every skirt in his new entourage
7
And they're all gossamer thin
8
Left of the dial, bohemians
9
And they dance, turnin' in style
10
Twirl 'round the room, curtsy and smile
11
And they sit at his feet, read poetry
12
Swoon with each word he speaks
13
She likes the new pope
14
She's not scared of hell
15
They meet once a week at a secret motel
16
She kisses his neck, she plays with his hair
17
Her screams sound like pleasure, her moans like despair
18
And they're spread gossamer thin
19
Pushed to the edge, frayed at the ends
20
And it's no business of mine
21
They can love more than one at a time
22
But they're pushing their luck
23
Hard but they must
24
Risk it all for love
25
Now I walk around in some kind of altered state
26
The drink in my hand is starting to shake
27
I get used to it if it has to stay this way
28
A new bunch of flowers I'll have to arrange
29
I don't want to eat or get out of bed
30
Try to recall what the therapist said
31
Ego and Id, the Essential Self
32
You are who you are and you are someone else
33
But I'm worn gossamer thin
34
Like delicate arch, carved by the wind
35
There's a glass psyche at stake
36
Throw me a brick, see if it breaks
37
'Cause the mind and the brain aren't quite the same
38
But they both want out of this place
