I'm with this guy - why the hell hasn't anyone commented on this song? This is one of the best songs on one of their best albums. This song should be called "I Had A Horribly Vivid Nightmare, Joe" cause that's what this sounds like.
Great imagery going on here - "A society of whores stuck needles in an image of me" "a shadowy jesus flittered from tree to tree" and lets face it - this is just a rocking song.
It's a dream, so i don't know how much of it should make sense - maybe these guys used to be pimps - and one decided it wasn't for him anymore - i really don't know. Apparently Joe has kept in touch, but the narrator has sort of maybe locked himself away and tried ignoring the evil Joe - who's mere memory is like a burden to the narrator who has horrible dreams because of what they used to do.

Either way, kick ass tune.
