i love this song. None of the lyrics have any sober meaning. I love the man and analyzing his work, but, he was f***ing gone when he did this one. He came up with this song on the spot while under the influence of at least a handful of substances. He was in a borrowed (rented?) house and the crackling/popping is from the fireplace. He recorded it on a 4-track I believe. Took it to studio, tried to redo it, but he could not. The verses and choruses have no set length or timing. Impossible to do again. So he did some minor tweaking on it, who knows what, and here it is. At about 1 minute or so in, if you're real quiet, you can hear him during the production/engineering of it and saying, "Turn it down..." Kind of cool.
