Here's what Songfacts.com writes: Neil Finn explained the unusual inspiration for this song in a 1998 interview with Goldmine. Said Finn: "I was staying in my manager in L.A.'s house, and there was a woman that lived next door to him who always seemed to be having wild sex at about 6 in the morning. It used to wake me up. And I had no idea anything about her, except that she was really rampantly enjoying the thrash-around.
I think that's where I got the lines 'I don't know where you go, do you climb into space, to the world where you live,' just speculating about this mystery life that was going on next door."
