I always saw this song as a vague but beautiful sci-fi story.
It's about two people on the run because there's something special about the girl's body that makes her valuable to an organization. There's another group that offers to protect them, but in the end, the girl gives herself up and is used for her intended purpose, which is what I think is happening in the "my baby spins propellants..." verse of the song. I just picture these people having their last day together and looking out over this huge dried-out ocean.
I like the line "it's one big ship ride anyway," because I think it's refering to life on our planet. It makes sense if you're familiar with the "Spaceship Earth" concept.
