I've got no idea but I'll take a stab. Like DevastatorJr. said a slipstream is a path behind a plane (or a car or whatever) that makes those behind it go faster because of lowered air pressure. So for the first part of the song if the leader is dead maybe all the followers are crying out because suddenly it's hard because they have no slipstream. Now they are taking control (robbing the skies).

Second part? I dunno. Revenge of the Nerds was funny.

For the "there's no women..." part (coolest lines ever), it probably goes along with following a leader (my mother). "There's no women in Alaska" is obviously false. "There's no Creoles in Vermont" is false but there's probably not many creoles in vermont =). "There's no coast of Nebraska" is true. Don't believe everything someone says?

Meh.... Pavement is too disjointed...
