This song is supposed to be a kind of confessional, a snapshot of what it's like to "get what you want". Joe talks about how thin he was (barely stay on, 'cause I'm so Goddam gaunt), dangers of dealers (gotta pay, come looking for me), and how ugly their life was despite money and fame.

My fave song of all time, has been forever.
