An interesting factor to the music is that all the chords used are major chords or 7th chords, and all the 'musical' letters of the alphabet are so used. The song ends with a descending progression of A7, G7, F7, E7, D7, C7, and B7, repeated until the end. The unusual monologue buried in the mix towards the end is actually a few lines of Shakespeare's King Lear (Act IV, Scene VI), which were added to the song direct from an AM radio receiving the broadcast of the play.
