Radiohead – The Tourist Lyrics 12 years ago
It barks at no one else but me,
Like it's seen a ghost.
*He, Thom, so often on the road that his dog barks upon his return*
I guess it's seen the sparks a-flowin,
No one else would know.
*Dogs sense the post-tour 'high vibrations'

Hey man, slow down, slow down,
Idiot, slow down, slow down.

Sometimes I get overcharged,
That's when you see sparks.
*Stimulating life, being in Radiohead, I'll bet.
They ask me where the hell I'm going?
At a 1000 feet per second,
*Meaning his music/lyrics? World is wondering what message he's trying to deliver. Key here was the speed of sound concept, as explained by RobinW77 - I like it!

Hey man, slow down, slow down,
Idiot, slow down, slow down.
*Thom telling himself to back off a bit on his messages to the masses - I'm sure it's not easy, the masses don't all 'get it' anyway... It just brings frustration (Idiot).

Hey man, slow down, slow down,
Idiot, slow down, slow down.

Alternatively,

It barks at no one else but me,
Like it's seen a ghost.
*It barks (the sharp 'nagging' of self-awareness)
I guess it's seen the sparks a-flowin,
*Synapses firing in the brain, Thom's a sharp one, a thinker...
No one else would know.
*Not everyone is willing to go so deeply...

The rest as is.

Quite something, however we look at it.
