through the trees is right in saying that, but you are actually only touching the surface of the deepness of this song. Think about it. This is clearly a case of 'art imitating life'. The risk is writing a song that has no verse/chorus/verse/chorus pattern, in the way standard songs are written. It is just a build up of pressure, noise and energy that gives the song a sexuality, until after about 2 and half minutes, there is an explosion (orgasm, if you will) for about 25 seconds, which is followed by the 'come down' after the orgasm.
The line "I will pay, I will pay, I will pay as much or as little as I have to, to try and confuse you..." means that some people listening to this will be confused and will not 'get' the song, as it is not a straight forward song, indeed it is highly complex. It is more sound engineering than a song.
To follow up a fairly successful album - both musically and commercially - with a second album that has such songs on like this, is the 'risk' that Barry is singing about in the song. It is a highly ambitious song, but the 'Heads pull it off in a way that only they can.
