Autism? perhaps?

My Opinion

@Ly Not a bad guess but I would consider that when this came out in the mid-90s that Autism wasn't something that much was known about. I do think that mental disability is on the right track though - I was thinking more along the lines of a crazy homeless person, especially based on the last verse where Eileen is "romancing with the moon" but really only talking to a street light.

@Ly back then, my exposure to autism was via the movies like Rain man and Nell. So there was awareness. Im pretty sure i e read somewhere that Dave Sabo has an autistic friend.
