The call of a stranger, in this cynical but still realistic view, leads to heartbreak
but in this case:
'but you won't be here tomorrow',
the echoed vocals of 'tomorrow' suggesting an omniscience, an inevitable prophecy.
Imbued, perhaps with rage and vengence, the victim denies themself empathy for others:
'but you are hurting everyone you touch'.
In this interpretation the song brings attention to the harsh reality of many AIDS victims, and provides a fable for the unlasting solace of revenge.
I think the song is about AIDS.
