This is an incredible song, so powerful when he does it live. I initially thought that it was about a relationship, but on closer inspection it seems to be about cocaine use. Specifically the lines:
"All night busz on a line
It’s only blood on the rime
Wrecks my head every time"
All night buzz from doing lines, blood on the nose..."
I did not see the interview with David talking about it being Babylon 10 years later, but that would make sense. In Babylon he talks about "chemicals running through my bloodstream" and the feel is happy and youthful- if one were to keep up substance abuse for 10 years I imagine the feeling would be more along the lines of this song.
