The arrangement is meant to evoke the desolation of Warsaw at the time of Bowie's visit in 1973. The mysterious lyrics and the piece of melody in the middle part of the song are based upon a recording of a Polish folk choir ÅšlÄ…sk.
And Bowie himself once said, he created a kind of fantasy language for this song.
