Cover art for Cakewalk on Easy Street lyrics by Spock's Beard

I dont know what may it mean but it's a great song. It always cheers me up somehow. How can you not love the Beard?

From what I can interpret with my non native english it's about a guy that returned from war. All his friends are gone, he's the only one who survived. Without legs, arms. Very much like Metallica's One but in prog and a very positive point of view.
