Cover art for Wait So Long lyrics by Trampled by Turtles

It's about a man in love with a whore. Not 'whore' in the figurative, derogatory sense, it's about an actual prostitute.

"And you call me in the morning with your troubles Takin' it downtown every night"

"But it's better than your fiber 'n fornication And all the dirty money that you earn."

"But it's better than your fiber 'n fornication"? Really?? That sounds like an misguided ad campaign for a Metamucil and Viagra cocktail. I'll offer "fire burned (burning?) fornication"--at least until somebody provides a convincing correlation between prostitution and colon health. Uhh, nevermind.

TxT Rocks.

'Fiber' can also refer to someone's character or an aspect thereof. Really.

This is exactly why we have dictionaries, please use them.

Whether "fiber 'n fornication" or "fire burned fornication", I agree it's about his affection for a prostitute.
