About this song

  • The Helena Beat Songfacts says that bass player Cubbie Fink explained at the Lollapalooza festival that the song is about: "The facade in Hollywood that there's all these young, beautiful people partying in this drug culture and getting lost in it. They're searching for the fountain of youth." . User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply. — lastfm
