"Glass Sandwich" as written by Les Claypool, Reid L. Iii Lalonde and Timothy W. Alexander....
He stood in line with the rest
And waited got his chance
To take his place behind the glass
And watch the ladies dance
It's the nature of things
He stepped into the darkened space
The air was thick and warm
He drops the coins in one by one
The scene unfolds before him
He stands looking eye to thigh
As she looks down from above
Only to be recognized
As his former love
It's the nature of things
And waited got his chance
To take his place behind the glass
And watch the ladies dance
It's the nature of things
He stepped into the darkened space
The air was thick and warm
He drops the coins in one by one
The scene unfolds before him
He stands looking eye to thigh
As she looks down from above
Only to be recognized
As his former love
It's the nature of things

This is pretty much just a funny story of total irony. THe guy goes in for a little show, and he pops in his money, only to see the girl he had dated before was now stripping for a living.
When he's saying "It's the nature of things," he saying what goes around comes around.
Like maybe he broke up with her cause he loved some one else, or she broke up with him cause he was a cheater, and he went to a porno palace like he does every day, and his ex-girlfriend is the new skank.
and its his ex-girlfriend it sounds like?
In de anza,
"I remember the day that she gave me her virginity,
and then she gave it ti everyone in our vicinity."
and in hats off,
"At seventeen, I'd get naked with a beauty queen
At the Hot Tub Zone
At nineteen, she was livin' hard and snortin' drugs
That decayed her bones"
It is possible that he is speaking of Jenny, who after she dated les, became a total whore.
Definately worth asking les.
