I interpret this song as being about hypocrisy. Not practicing what you preach. Protagonist is attempting to maintain the appearance of respectability (tie and tails) even while the is loathing himself for being involved with prostitution (10 ton catastrophe and 60 lb chain being the weight of his guilt). But at some point he gives in to his temptations, he's alone and beyond recrimination (he's past the point of caring about what others think). curtains are shut and furniture is gone - feels protected and his only focus is the sexual act he's involved in The rest of the song seems to be orgasmic in nature - transforming, vibrating, glowing, flying |

| My song of the year. Love everything about this song, the lyrics, the music, the infamous single piano note, the idea of life out there somewhere. Superb song. Thank you PIXIES!!! | |

Absolutely Haunting song. I listed to it about 5 times until I realized that this was about a cold blooded murder. After a few more listens I found a lot of similarities to the Dostoevsky novel "Crime and Punishment". Anyone can rationalize and commit the worst of crimes/evils. Scariest line for me is "It was so easy, that I wanted to kill her again". Okkervil River has been one of my favorite bands since I listened to them while driving across Louisiana, Mississippi and part of Alabama. Very fitting music for driving through the South. Great song writers. |
