"I had this instrumental to finish but I was n't hearing any words," Hersh said in the accompanying notes. "Then I opened this "Krazy Kat" comic from the '30s and there were all these "beautiful" words. So I re-wrote the song, took it apart, put it back together – and then I opened up the book again and none of those words were there. Honest to God! It was like this song was just kicking me in the head: 'Goddammit, whaddya need?! Alright, we'll write it in a comic book for ya, dipshit!'"
