If you get tired of hanging around
Pick up a guitar and spin a web of sound
Then you could be strung out all day
With your lovers and clowns
(But now I find myself still hanging around..)

It's been a long war and now I'm tired and dirty
Still not dirty enough for you my love

We've been thieving, we stole the light from the dawn
But when I come round on your floor I wish I'd never been born
Can you see me? Can you see through it all?
I'm empty lost and alone oh won't you heed my call?

It's been a long war, now we're tired and dirty
Still not dirty enough for you my love

    I interpretted this as a messed up love song. Pete's singing about how he and his girl/boyfriend just sit around and get loaded all day, and Pete's wondering if this lover really cares about him ('Oh tell me you can see me, can't you see through it all?') or if they're just dragging him through the drugs and shit that they've done for the thrill of it.
