I love this song. It has a darker undercurrent then most pavement songs. Parts of it seem to be about some sense of guilt someone might feel after being with a nervous prostitute ("can a one trick night feed 40 days", the singer, I assume, being that nights trick). The image of her shivering like "a vein slashed bright and new" is particularly harrowing. I also get the sense of a bad acid trip, the vials metioned might contain LSD. Whatever it's about it sounds sinister and I love that. And your right devastator, it's also a good one to hammer out while your hammered.
