THANK YOU for posting these lyrics - I was having the damnedest time trying to figure out what he was saying.
As for the song, I think it pretty much speaks for itself. The only thing I want to draw attention to is his writing: the interior rhyme, the trademark off-kilter rhythm, the crazy imagery. It actually reminds me somewhat of a few Irish folksongs and stories, which seem to have a similar focus on Great Deeds that somehow lead to even more problems. Another very good song on an album full of them.
