    LYRICS:
    Another night on the straights
    All bug-eyed and babbling
    Out on the corner of 7th and A
    “I’m in the business of living”
    Yeah, that’s something I’d say
    All I need is a new friend
    I’m only five blocks away
    Speak to me
    Won’t you speak, sweet angel?
    Don’t you remember me?
    I was God’s favorite customer
    Beware the man who has everything
    Everything that he wants
    You can spot him from a mile away in his gold chain and only one pair of socks
    I’m out here testing the maxim
    That all good things have to stop
    The bar closes at five but the big man is just opening shop
    Speak to me
    (Won’t you speak to me?)
    Won’t you speak, sweet angel?
    Don’t you remember me?
    (Don’t you remember me?)
    I was God’s favorite customer
    But now I’m in trouble
    Speak to me
    (Oh, speak to me)
    Won’t you speak, sweet angel?
    I need some company
    (I need some company)
    I swear just one more night longer

      @@simmy1823 Well the way I see it is that the big man (God) has is customers come in (to heaven) at 5 in the morn - isn't there a phenomenon that people die in the early hours, when the day is just beginning - just like the video is set in the crepuscular light of dawn - God is just opening shop as the days ends/begins. It could also be read in another way that the big man is Josh himself - he is tall (1.88metres) and he admitted in the same verse that he is 'testing the maxim...' as if he's pushing himself to the limit to keep on surviving 'one more day' so maybe he's opening shop as in trying to continue his career/life/survival - however you want to read it.

And what he is saying in this album, is that he needs to find himself, fixed his relationships Etc! And then he'll come back as father Josh Misty! LOL, in the missing poster either he's lost, and that's kind of where that's coming from and checking out at the same time! I guess that's what I'm trying to say, or John or Josh is trying to say,
