One of Joel’s lesser known songs, but definitely one of his best. The author writes of a primary and a minor theme. Most importantly, Joel recalls his tumultuous lifestyle and comments that though he realizes the negativity of his self-destructive ways, he cannot help but admit that his dangerous routine holds a certain allure. Still and all, he ultimately admits that it’s time to move on. Secondarily, the song hints at the fact that, though we so often try, human pain and suffering cannot be erased by material possessions or grandiose action.
