I've read GR, and I find it terribly difficult to relate this tune to that book. I knew LA and this tune long before reading it, so the tune is still a great one. But as far as GR.... ? Is the ugly guy Tyrone Slothrop? I tend to doubt it.
Well, maybe there's one thing (;->) ... the last verse where the other lover walks in, made of thin air... sounds a little like what happens to Slothrop at the end of GR - he just vanishes into thin air....
Cool analysis of the relationship of the song to the end of GR. The connection to the Rocket is fairly clear (send it up, see it fall), but the otherwise isolated tone of the lyrics is still mysterious.
