The song is about knowing the end result of every situation you're in, and being able to play it out in your mind and see it before it happens.

I'm 33 and in my Jesus year, and I want it all right now. I want a perfect body. I want to have a perfect love affair. I want every member of my family to be healthy and happy. And I want the world to save itself and for America to realize that it has to give up its idea of being an empire. Wait until I hit 40 then it'll all come crumbling dow

I've developed into quite a swan. I'm one of those people that will probably look better and better as I get older - until I drop dead of beauty.

I really need to know I may just never see you again, or might as well You took advantage of a world that loved you well I'm going to a town that has already been burnt down I'm so tired of you, America.

I've paid the price I definitely have a reputation that precedes me, and there is a camp that plots my demise. But then again... it's funner that way.

The operas I listen to aren't in English, and I want to listen to my opera after I'm done with it. I want to have the desire to play it on the stereo. To me, the language is part of the mystery.
