| Perhaps the 'two heads' are mania ('one free') and depression ('one sticky'). 'The devil's moon' being a reference to what was once referred to as lunacy. | |

| I love "for instance - where's my husband?" Wonderfully surprising change in mood, as in many of her songs. | |

| i think of this as "i am of two minds". one has to do with constantly waiting for "the man" who brings you your heroin, and the other is the state of being free from that sinfulness. Which way will she choose? | |
