Chocked full of nutty wordplay ... it's a relationship song that uses the word 'circumsized.' Do the math.

Story behind the song
The first original Mike Mills and I recorded. He did the keys and drum programs, I did the guitar, bass and vox. Oh, and Mike also served some red wine ... it was a very good year.
Lyrics
UNDERSTAND I’m riddled by your bulletin that you pushed right in Like a memo in my heart That reminds of the chance it lost to start So instead of this dance I will Ask you to elucidate The steps that waltzed us to this fete Has our time been worth all this trouble? To be so damned mystified by the circumcised Head that’s on my shoulders That you scalped and you left for me to hold here And if I’m bereft of the answer I’ll look in my eye And I will no longer lie Cause I’m too detached to be subtle I really believe you were filling a hole you were looking after yourself Don’t think you deceived for a personal gain of depleting my emotional wealth Yet here I lay in your path I don’t feel whole but I don’t feel half And I want to do is understand My love has been cauterized by the how’s and why’s And a husband never known Two men sharing a time they thought they owned How did I ever buy into the Falsity of your embrace When you treat love like real estate What have you lost in the burst of the bubble? I can’t explain your reindeer games, your frosty mien Like a child in the schoolyard Chattering so as not to lose the regard Of your friends who will choose and will Pick you first or pick you last Were you making sure that you had a match Even if that meant seeing double
