Is there any clue what the lyrics mean?

The lyrics are pony, but the music is pretty good.

I mean "I know that I must do what's right As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti" - really? So awkward. Like those early Genesis lyrics where they tried to stuff an entire paragraph into what should have been an 8 note melody.

You mean Peter Gabriel doing that and dressing up as a flower?

Yep, a metaphor too far.
