I have long loved this song. Frank Black used to write a lot of lyrics that were riddles. This is a love song about black holes. Black Holes aren't technically given names to my knowledge but the signature energy emitted that leads to their inference or discovery often has long numerical name references that are most closely associated as the "name" of the black holes themselves. Black holes are thought to be the result of collapsed stars and cannot be seen with the naked eye.
The lyrics make reference to these facts surrounding black holes.
P.S. I wish Frank Black still wrote lyrics in such an interesting way. It was always a joy to get his latest record and start decrypting what he wrote about.
