O: Chorus: Hello from Alaska, from Madagascar or Detroit Well I’ve been watching midnight cowboy, I want a fringed coat like John Voight. O: Verse B: Well I was working in a shoe shop When Cinderella dropped by She tried on some glass running shoes I stole a glimpse of her thigh hadn’t spoken to her sisters they got her busted from dealing ecstasy She said well she might be living in a pumpkin But you know her sisters were living in spiritual poverty. O: Chorus: Hello from Moscow, from Oshkow and Saint Pete Well I’ve been watching east of Eden, whatever happened to Joann Fleet O: Verse C: Oh I’m living in a strange world O: At least it looks that way to me Am I the boy in bubble Or am I the old man and the sea Here’s to Frankenstein and Dracula But their needs seem ordinary and plain When you compare them to those fanatical believers I hear they’re always expecting rain O: Chorus: Hello from Milano, from Amarillo and city on the plain I’ve been watching sons of Katy Elder, I like that graceful strut of John Wayne O: Verse D: You know I was born in the suburbs Though I never understood what sub was Shopping malls, shiny cars, I felt like a soap opera star I couldn’t stay there - enough was enough Sometimes what you think is mediocre Might turn extraordinary someday What makes you laugh tomorrow May be the same things that make you cry today O: Chorus: Goodbye from Manhattan, from Garden City and Jackson Heights Oh I’ve been digging Jackson Pollack - He paints canvas like it’s a heavyweight fight.

À propos de la chanson

La chanson aborde des thèmes de dualité et d'identité, évoquant comment une personne peut être à la fois pleine de poison et de grâce. Le narrateur se décrit comme un homme invisible, laissant des traces sans être vraiment vu ni reconnu. Il fait allusion à des figures emblématiques de la culture, tout en réfléchissant à sa propre existence dans un monde qui semble étrange et décalé. Le contexte rappelle une époque de quête personnelle, où des références à des œuvres cinématographiques et littéraires se mêlent à des réflexions sur l'amour, la vie et les attentes de la société. Le narrateur se débat entre ce qui semble être banal et ce qui pourrait être extraordinaire, touchant ainsi à la condition humaine et à la recherche de sens.
