Why haven't more people commented on this? :S I believe the lyrics are basically just snippets of conversation that one of the band heard when walking around the streets of New York (or a certain venue perhaps), catching little pieces of conversation here and there, and cut them roughly together to make a song that vaguely rhymed :) pretty interesting way of doing things, especially as it makes you wonder what the rest of each conversation consisted of. The song is delightfully confused yet also has a sense of structure, rhythmn etc, as if it's one meaningful collection of words rather than a rough assemblage :D eh maybe I'm just rambling. Catchy tune either way. And the harmonising still makes a little hair stand up on my neck, so perfect it is at times.
