About this song: Helena Beat
The Helena Beat Songfacts says that bass player Cubbie Fink explained at the Lollapalooza festival that the song is about: "The facade in Hollywood that there's all these young, beautiful people partying in this drug culture and getting lost in it. They're searching for the fountain of youth." http://t.opsp.in/P4Uw A download link as provided in their mailing list email.
