Here are my raw remarks about this song from my initial review of the album over on my website:
Quote:

From the Dick Dale inspired riff, the listener is swept into a very real look into the life of Meat Loaf. This song really tells a pretty strong tale if you listen and holds no punches, as Meat Loaf sings about the frustrations about the way his past unfolded – “I used to keep a lot of people around who kept their hands over my eyes, ears, and mouth. Just like the money and the buzz they were gone in the morning.” I will let the listener fill in the blanks, but all I can say is I believe certain pairs of shoes were not only put away but tossed out in the rubbish with this track, and judging from the quality of the album – I say for the best.

I still say my words are fair.
I think the line, "Just like the money and the buzz they were gone in the morning" are some of the most poignant and meaningful words Meat Loaf has ever sang. They say so much about our modern day.
