Lyric discussion by forallthecows 

I think fearnotofman could be right. I think its about the frustration of still having your virginity and how this lad becomes alienated and feels persecuted for not loosing his virginity because its all around him but he's not getting any, thus -

"Feel like a no-tell motel painting, out of place or ignored. It's all medals & trophy's, trophy's and medal & all before the race has been run."

and

"It's all "have nots, have nones, hey can I have some's?" Until I've HAD ENOUGH YET I'VE HAD NONE"

and then he finally 'drops the knife' (ie gives up trying, because he's found it?)

"Suddenly it gets easy. The sun goes down. The long arm of important things disappears in her gown. You finally drop the knife, forget you ever h.... It's such a good night, ain't forever. It feels so good to give up, give in... her arms."

he's gone and lost it, and feels good.

Maybe thats just a shallow interpretation, but it seems to make sense... Best track off the album IMO, its like getting a big hug off the big man himself :)

That doesn't really fit in with the rest of the lyrics.
