the goldfish sing all night with guitars, and the whores go down with the stars, the whores go down with the stars
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker paints a whimsical night in which goldfish sing to guitar music until morning. Then comes a more worldly note, repeated like a refrain: the women who sell sex leave as the stars go down. The mood mixes fantasy with weary, seedy tenderness.
