I don't think the intention is to be nightmarish. The protagonist is hardly going to actually get the spinal cord of JFK and wrap it in Marilyn Monroe's negligee... the whole point of the song is to capture the epic enormity of the love (or lust?) that the protagonist holds for the object of his affection. He would go to ridiculously extreme lengths to show his affection, but wants nothing in return but "the softest little breathless word... A word contained in a grain of sand, That can barely walk can't even stand". This is an amazing love song, steeped in some of the most memorable and poetic lyrics I have heard in a long time. |
