Each town, city or country can be so different from another that they could well be considered different worlds. This song is about a town plagued by a massive infestation of time. Well, everyone suffers from time, but these folks had way too much of it. It got into their noses, ears, eyes, in between their toes, and stuck to their skin like a fine film. Now, everyone moves slowly, hoping not to disrupt the flow of time. When you have too much time on your hands, you move more slowly.
