This song makes you think, imagine. It makes me think of the world around me and how everyone is hooked on a certain drink, (coffee in this song..), always has a daily routine of watching the 10 o'clock news, and breathing in all this corporate material. Everything is mass-produced, and plastic, quality is something that is not thought about in products. Well, this song is not all about products being mass-produced, but i think the way people think is more conformed than ever, and it's almost scary. Everyone is the same, and has the same hair and clothes, and walk and talk. Just be yourself, and take time to notice the simple things in life, before they get a hold of you and you come back and it is all gone. This may be a too-deep analysis of this song, but it's my best interpretation. This man in the narrative of the song, is just a basic guy, and is taken aback by the words of this "ghost", and is brought back to reality. It is common in America for business to take over family life (your children have grown and you never made your wife moan). Everyone's features are blending, and anything out of the ordinary is usually frowned upon, the world needs more people that are different!
