Dusty, as you said yourself, Goffin & King wrote it specifically for the film, so they knew the Monkees would be doing it, and it was more than likely going to be Micky (especially since Gerry Goffin produced the track). |

The album came out when I was 13, but I didn't buy it until a year later....and that's when I learned what the second line said. Pretty awesome timing, really, especially since the rest of it seemed to coincide with me anyway. |

The moral of the story: There comes a point in life where you have to grow up and be your own person, not just sponging off your parents forever. |

Pretty plain & simple, it's about the Monkees themselves. For example, Micky has first-hand experience "riding the backs of giraffes for laughs" from his old show Circus Boy.
I agree, this is a beautiful song. |

This kinda reminds me of Strong Bad's vacation at That Clock:
"Ok, the best thing about this postcard is that if you look at the clock, that's the exact same time I first laid eyes on the clock, 2:55, and like...oh, wait, it's still 2:55--ok, the clock's broken, but still it's like the best thing I've ever seen in my life!" |

The throwing yourself off a building line could also be a biblical reference to Jesus's temptation by Satan after he was in the desert. The devil asked Jesus to throw himself off the high point of the temple, since angels would come to protect him. |
