Lyric discussion by Reginald Edit 

Try this one on for size, kids: It's a song about cheating.

He rises early to send money "home", which is as far away as the moon to him. But he then goes to meet Harriet Hendershot, who tries to remain anonymous in her sunglasses while waiting by her home. But it would hurt too much to think of it as a home that he is wrecking, so he thinks of it as a house made of glass, concrete, and ....

He declares that concentrating on skin is the best in life, "delightfully". When you're just an animal, you can give up years of work with another for sensual pleasure.

In the end, one cannot be so cold, so he has to find a fine line and come back just a bit to thinking of this material as a little more than just a house, hence we come around full circle to the home.

But the best idea would probably be to ask David what he meant. ;)

The element of physically being human and being tempted by others. Giving up our highest ideals and becoming animals, we can screw over anyone, even if it means breaking up a home.

@Reginald Edit Hmmmmm food for thought definitely. It does provide an interesting new listen with the infidelity angle.
