I still want to know what this song is about.
It feels so depressing, so deep.
IMO one of the best songs they ever made.

A friends perspective of a drugged out prostitute is the take I got from the words. There are things we cannot see that hang Within her sight There are people we won't remember that Dance with her at night Eileen's calling me To sit awhile and talk to trees Eileen can't you see The songs you sing are scaring me Eileen, Eileen She's romancing with the moon Full and alone It's really a street light It's something we all know Eileen's calling me To sit awhile and talk to trees Eileen can't you see The songs you sing are scaring me Eileen, Eileen Eileen... There are things we cannot see that hang Within her sight It's really a street light It's something in her night Eileen she's calling me To sit awhile and talk to trees Eileen can't you see The songs you sing are scaring me Eileen's calling me To sit awhile and talk to trees Eileen, oh can't you see The songs you sing are scaring me Eileen, Eileen... I, I know what she knows I know what she knows I know what she knows I know what she knows |

I remember Rachel explaining once that it was about a local woman - a real person - who was a bit deranged and who used to wander the streets talking to the trees and so on.
