"Then I stopped thinking about it for a couple of months, because I couldn't figure out what to do, whether to go in an entirely different direction. A lot of that is reflected in the manuscript." It still could've gone on to become a dance hit if he'd left the "Do The Bustle" chorus with strings and horns in there.

But what the hell does it mean?No expert here, but I thought that it was after the aircraft crash that killed Buddy Holly of the Crickets. A well known singer got bumped off the flight and took a Greyhound bus.
The song seemed to be trying to explain why the world seemed so empty. This after the plane crash.
Who really knows?

Might be on youtube somewhere.
