I used to think this song was of an apocolyptic future after a nuclear holocaust and that we should just live for everyday and have fun, but as re-read the lyrics I am wondering if they don't refer to a ruin in europe and the statuary there depicting dancing lords and ladies; also how things may change but these statues last for eternity.
