"The title came from the notebook I had with me the evening of the acid trip at Tandle Hill. I'd written down all these weird phrases like 'Script of the bridge,' and 'What does anything mean? And 'the return of the roughnecks.' The lyric is pretty self-explanatory. The politics of the day constantly went on about a glowing material future. A sort of anti-yuppie anthem. The end is a snippet from a very early song called 'Turn To The Vices' which never got recorded in itself."
