Some excellant observations Roger! Golden Earring has always been an all time favorite rock band of mine. Here's their web site: Golden Earring
I've always imagined the song was about some covert spy operation gone bad. Possibly in Turkey (ie: your observation about the moon and star), and possibly due to the "double cross messenger" spoken of.
Consider the following strings:
lonely hotel room
fear
The Gun's still warm
my connection Is tired of taking chances
Cannot decode
My beacon's been moved
Where am I to go now that I've gone too far?
Double cross messenger
Can't get no connection
Can't get through
This far from the borderline
hitman
Spies use hotel rooms, guns, codes, locator beacons, hitmen, connections, and obviously live in fear.
It'd be nice to hear what the songs true meaning really is.
