This song fucking rocks, I'd say maybe the best on BloodSugarSexMagik, or at least tied, anyway. I think most people have the right meanings of it, but I'll just add some stuff. the first two lines, 'There are no monks in my band, There are no saints in this land' refers to the fact that while they are not all good and pure like monks, neither is anyone else, so they shouldn't be judged for what they do.
Also, when i first heard this song, i thought the chorus said 'You are all alone' instead of 'You are on the road', until i read the lyrics from the disc booklet and realised that it does sound more like the latter. But at the start of the very last chorus, I'm certain that John sings 'You are all alone' (listen for yourself). This is probably refering to the idea that, while they are sleeping with a lot of different women and always have some company, they are lonely because they don't have any proper serious relationships.
Anyway thats my two cents worth,
Peace
Yeah i agree with you FlynnZ maaan... at the end I am pretty sure John does say "You are all alone". And i agree with your reason why u think those would be the words. it makes perfect sense.
