Other lyrics in trhe song such as "The carpet or sky (as in you are hi) is moving under you" reflected how I felt when suddenly finding myself homeless and with family support, disowned and cast off to die in the streets. All because I was turning-on and not doing well in school. My life was falling apart, the promise of youth faded while I was a kid, It was all over baby blue, and time to grow up. My mom used to read me "Little Boy Blue go blow your horn..." but it's all over now. And the empty handed painter drawing crazy patterns on the sheets was an abusive perverted grandfather, and "the empty handed armies" were the dead friends from 'Nam left behind, they would not be back to jam and party in the park anymore. The stepping stones of family must be left behind, the innocence of youth is sadly lost, dead, and those angels "will not follow you..."
One thing to add to my last post:
