"i thought up this song when i was riding late at night through some old factory-town in Ohio. it was about 11:30, and the street was completely deserted. the streets were lit by these dull-orange streetlights, and the only buildings were abandoned storefronts and, inexplicably, these crumbling, concrete deals with rusted pipes sticking out every which way. it looked, needless to say, very apocalyptic to me. very alarming and beautiful."
