Cover art for Vision Thing lyrics by Sisters of Mercy, The

I think it's about Bush senior, because of Vision Thing and Blizzard king, a note to Bush's cocaine dealings. In the beginning there is mentioning of a drug called Methedrom and so he has 25 whores in a room next door, he needs to go down 25 floors to a candy store, to come down from his bad trip, seeing a million flashes of light and strange colors. But he reflects on a better world, where people can sing again and get out of drugs and the killing zone. 2000 Hamburg four could be the postal code for a district in Hamburg, where Eldridge would later go, when leaving the band.
