    It's about electricity. Listen to the lyrics again.

    Okay, here some theories. The nightlight one sounds pretty good. http://tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/Interpretations:Birdhouse_In_Your_Soul

    When I heard it on the radio I thought it was about LIGHT, but I agree with you, after listening carefully to it (several times) one can tell it is about an nite light.

    My god, this was a song and a group that I wanted so badly to forget about; just like bad food poisoning. But, VM44 has just resurrected it into my consciousness so that I can enjoy this artistic vomit one more time.

    Thanks VM44

    LOL, sorry about that Arthur.

    It appears that old videos never die, they just end up at YouTube!
