The lyrics are different for the organ version. And another funny thing about this song is that it is the same chord progression as glycerin by bush.
This song was actually one of Jeff's least favorites, he said in an interview that he felt that it was always incomplete, and that the way he recorded it was very different than the way he normally would, so he felt it didn't shine as well as it could have. (i don't remember where i got that, it was either of the NMH.org site or the 33 1/3 book)
The song has to do with how he felt alone and alienated when he moved to Seattle, and when his other friends migrated to new locations. This was about the time when he was living in a closet and he often saw "ghosts", and he had the dream about monks with buckets. So it was a mix of different inspirations.
