first :D

this song is great! mabey my favorate from him.

anyway, i always thought on the third line it was "Envoled in an eating scene" idk though. mabey it just im usualy stoned while i listen to this, so i can realate to an eating scene :P

@tim caesar I took it to be "Involved in an eating scene..."

It's an interesting image...

A guy obviously stoned on cannabis ("violent hash eater") has maybe used a candy vending machine, wanting to indulge in some gustatory sensations--and you know how good everything tasted stoned,

But the machine fails to deliver--it eats his coins--and he's shaking it, bitterly disappointed.

This came out in '65 I'm thinking and I smoked dope for the first time that year. Before I smoked the lyric implied one thing; after, it seemed real clear to me.
