Before I talk, I should read a book. But there's one thing I do know: There's a lot of ruins in Mesopotamia.
When this album came out, the B's were showing up on soap operas & working with David Byrne. I was in heaven.

I literally just stumbled upon a live concert version of this song, and it captivated me with its strange vibe and ethereal harmonies. Bizarre and yet pleasant.
