I hate to ruin it for you lost fans but this song is Not about lost. There are many clues that prove against that point. First, Cleophus is the name of a serial killer from California. Cleophus Prince Jr. He was arrested and moved to a state prison in San Diego, where the band is from. It is my personal belief that the band was around the trials and therefor were influenced in a strange way by it. Lyric such as 'Roomsick Man is easy now
Arrested day. Awake in grey
Bedsick Man I read somehow
Once he was full. He's empty now'... indicate the capturing of Cleophus.
About Dark Star, yes it is where the band got its name. If you listen to other pinback songs you wil hear different samples of that same movie. Not to mention the lead in the 1973 space thriller goes by the name of Pinback.

I know for a fact the Cleophus referred to in this song is Rob Crow's cat.
