gotta tell you
what i heard
from agent orange
mister suntan
mister happy man
mister i know the girls
on all the world tours
mister agent
he's my favorite
and they don't understand
he's got palm oil fans
yes he's down and there
and everywhere
he's getting an a to z
an underwater city
where she swims and swims

"There's one called Agent Orange. Naturally, if we're talking about the boy/girl matrix, there's going to be a war zone at some point in our story...and we go into Agent Orange. If we're gonna have a war, we have to bring warfare in. I decided to make him a bodybuilder because that memory has to transmute also - the skin. To become like tango, the idea of tang, or the idea or orangina, an orange muscle secret agent who we long...that song, Agent Orange is the one o'clock cabaret moment, where you're had a couple of amarettos on the rock, and there's just a sadness. But you know that sadness when you know your relationship is over and you're still alive? You know you're not dead. You've got all your body parts. You're all there. You've got a date. He's got a new love...(long dreamy pause)..and you go on with it."
