The song is about questioning. Andy Kaufman built his career on people never knowing whether he was being sincere or putting them on. Many people think Andy's death was an elaborate hoax. Many of the other things mentioned in the songs are also believed to be hoaxes, to some the moon landing, to some religion, and there are many who say the apple never hit Newton.
The "truck stop instead of st peters" refers to Andys death..did he fake it and go to a truck stop, or did he die and meet st peter? Then the answer.. Mr Andy Kaufman is off wrestling somewhere.. at least he is to the people who were never-believers, who never believed he was being serious. There is even a message to Andy. Have you heard about this? Is he still making fun of Elvis? Is he having fun (still being alive)?
