I have no solid idea what this song is about. The following section is my favorite line in the song - Hey man, how will you feel When all you have and all you own Is your only true friend When above you in the firmament Flow the blood of the prophets Out of your reach From your aching speech

anyone noticed it sounds alot like In The Flat Field?
