I want to be your absolute ultimate
Want to be your only one now
Feel the rays come up from your sulkiness
Feel the rays you radiate now
Sweet and plain,
Unsignable name
That rings in my mind now
That strums me like a string
Chime, unsingable name
Over everything.
Beware the thrum of hearts in your presence and
Watch the breeze that snaps at you now
All the dogs that bark from the fences and
Everything is wanting for you
Smirk on the face and fists in the clenches and
Make the radiator blow now
Crack the planks and shatter the lenses and
Mix the salt, the sugar, and flour
Slushing, sleeting through the blue gloom
Some long bell's lonely ring
Chime, unsingable name
Over everything
I want to see the mountains in silhouette
Want to split for Singapore now
Want to see the mystery trees
Want to hear the womanly sound.
I want to see the mystery trees.
I want to hear the womanly sound.
Want to be your only one now
Feel the rays come up from your sulkiness
Feel the rays you radiate now
Sweet and plain,
Unsignable name
That rings in my mind now
That strums me like a string
Chime, unsingable name
Over everything.
Beware the thrum of hearts in your presence and
Watch the breeze that snaps at you now
All the dogs that bark from the fences and
Everything is wanting for you
Smirk on the face and fists in the clenches and
Make the radiator blow now
Crack the planks and shatter the lenses and
Mix the salt, the sugar, and flour
Slushing, sleeting through the blue gloom
Some long bell's lonely ring
Chime, unsingable name
Over everything
I want to see the mountains in silhouette
Want to split for Singapore now
Want to see the mystery trees
Want to hear the womanly sound.
I want to see the mystery trees.
I want to hear the womanly sound.

A girl with an unsingable name sent me an e-mail out of the blue, saying she was on a high school field hockey team with the assistant of a woman who worked at a music magazine, and that she loved my music. Her name was a melodious string of vowels. Just looking at the e-mail, I decided that a girl with that name just be beautiful.
The book never says what her name was, but they got involved in a several-month relationship based on heroin and self-loathing.
Incidentally, he talks about the "$300 worth of dope I was sniffing daily." Probably the inspiration for his song $300.
IMO - this is just a love letter to a girl with a name that either doesn't rhyme with anything, or is (plain and simply) un-singable.
