This is a song I've only understood as I've gotten older. This is all about the circle of life, the rat race, continually chasing after something when all your really doing is chasing yourself.
there's a man, a real pacesetter
coming after me
and after him there's someone better and
after him there's me
This sums up life perfectly, the race is only with yourself in the end.
he'll offer you a cigarette
he'll offer you a light
but he hasn't finished with you yet
on another long, knife night
The people you'll come across in life and what they really want, you'll find out their agenda in the end.
A really well thought out song by a very underrated song writer
