JEEZ!
Can't you enjoy the music of the song? I know I enjoyed it a lot
before I understood what she was singing about. Do you have to understand
every single lyrical nuance before you like something? Guess you must
not like much industrial stuff, since in many cases you can't even
understand what they're singing. I guess we should simply write songs
about stupid love triangles so everyone can understand....

I'm having a wonderful time but I'd rather be whistling in the dark.
