This song, and the whole album to some extent, reminded me of tangled up in blue by bob dylan. I've not subjected this to a strict interpretation; but it puts me in mind of two characters, one red one blue, following, chasing and loosing each other in a dance across the country. Obviously we are aware of Scarlet; but there are a few oblique menntions of blue in the forms of violets, blues and i believe lithium is mentioned somewhere else in the album. Why precicelsy they are trailing each other, and who is following who (blue or red) is not clear; but then do you ever know your reasons when you find yourself on those hazy modern urban quests?
