I think the reason that Adam Duritz always wonders if this is a good song is because it isn't about anything specific. It seems to be a stream of conscious writing ("peeking down the shirts..." may be a reference to TS Elliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock?), so each stanza is kind of about something different. I think that is what makes this song so great, because it seems to touch on so many different elements of what it means to be human.
