This is a great track, and i think the best representation in his catalogue of his penchant for lyrics about the aftermath of a sex and drugs rock lifestyle. even his earliest songs reflect the tired manicness of a rock star at the end of a career, cleaning up after himself and anticipating death. you'll not find a better example than this track.
