One of the standout tracks from Trout Mask, and propbably from the whole back catalogue. I'd agree with the above posts that this song is about God's dissolutionment with the human race (I mean, we are pretty terrible, I wouldn't be surprised if we did give God the blues). The theme of disintegrating humanity and the wish to escape these horrors is reoccuring throughout the entire album (Frownland, Sweet Sweet Bulbs, Ant Man Bee etc.). It's hard not to agree with the Captain's sentiments.
