Twitch your whiskers. Feel that you're really real: the gesture a wise man makes while pondering the universe, stroking his beard or mustache.
I love the dual meanings Jethro Tull employs. I think their stuff is great when you try to interpret a line and you can't decide whether they are for the idea in the line or against it. "Think as a Brick" is chock full of them. But this song has a good one two:
Which one of us exercises on the old treadmill-
Who hides his head, pretending to sleep?
Makes me wonder, am I the one on the old treadmill or am I the one who hides his head?
Also like a wise man, he views the constructs of this world as a cage.

Great comment. I heard Ian mention that he was more concerned with they way words sound than their meaning together.
