LYRICS:
Another night on the straights
All bug-eyed and babbling
Out on the corner of 7th and A
“I’m in the business of living”
Yeah, that’s something I’d say
All I need is a new friend
I’m only five blocks away
Speak to me
Won’t you speak, sweet angel?
Don’t you remember me?
I was God’s favorite customer
Beware the man who has everything
Everything that he wants
You can spot him from a mile away in his gold chain and only one pair of socks
I’m out here testing the maxim
That all good things have to stop
The bar closes at five but the big man is just opening shop
Speak to me
(Won’t you speak to me?)
Won’t you speak, sweet angel?
Don’t you remember me?
(Don’t you remember me?)
I was God’s favorite customer
But now I’m in trouble
Speak to me
(Oh, speak to me)
Won’t you speak, sweet angel?
I need some company
(I need some company)
I swear just one more night longer

@@simmy1823 Well the way I see it is that the big man (God) has is customers come in (to heaven) at 5 in the morn - isn't there a phenomenon that people die in the early hours, when the day is just beginning - just like the video is set in the crepuscular light of dawn - God is just opening shop as the days ends/begins. It could also be read in another way that the big man is Josh himself - he is tall (1.88metres) and he admitted in the same verse that he is 'testing the maxim...' as if he's pushing himself to the limit to keep on surviving 'one more day' so maybe he's opening shop as in trying to continue his career/life/survival - however you want to read it.
