If anyone else has even heard of this band and is willing to offer corrections, I welcome it--especially on the "Picture it, a man to see, no" line. I listened to it a hundred times, and I can't make heads or tails to it, especially given the following lines; it doesn't sound like they're saying any state I've ever heard of.
That aside, I'm guessing the lyrics are a kinda-biographical recollection of an Australian band growing up hearing stories of America ("America, I think I saw you somewhere/back in Sydney when I was young") and how it squared up with the actual experience.
