i think nine days is kind of poking fun at the way we live and life itself. Why do we live anyways? just to "end up dead drunk or stoned?" they make a perfect metaphor with the circus. Life is like a circus with balancing acts and people making fools of themselves just to entertain others. i really love this song. it tells what people do to get by and all the things that kinda suck about life but we still keep going on, but isn't it funny how we all end up? its kind of depressing but true. the line about the monkey is the best. "a monkeys got it made you see/swinging from the vine of a coconut tree" monkeys have no worries. they don't have any drama in their life. they just live and don't really think about it. we think too much.
well that's what i got from it.. maybe nine days meant something totally different (=
