Confession

How can we blame him since he's at the one and only point on this planet at the exact opposite from his home. Luckily, there's a payphone there so he can spend his fortune to call his love and wait for the bird on the wire to grant him a lift. "Baby blind love is true" (especially over the phone).

Then he get's drunk and laughs at a winking wig before passing away, or so he thinks. (Never quite got that part...) "Solo on the moutain with an unplugged electric guitar".

He finally manages to talk to his love, but she's about to go to sleep (time delay from one side of the planet to the other - Jon shows his coherence as a song writer here). So he orders her to know he'll have her in mind during is job hours. He won't be alone but will feel lonely like the wolf anyway, and if she doesn't believe that too bad for her because he's got nothing to prove. "It's you I'd die to defend."

One last time (well twice actually) he'll say how he wishes her the softest and freshiest bed of all when he'll lay in his made of guilt and loneliness. Though you can tell another blond will join him so the song can loop and the listener can get stuck in that vicious circle along with his idol. Genius song writing again.

He probably got the idea from Richie. That's why Richie makes all those faces when he's playing - there's holes drilled in the backs of his guitars.
