What Does the Song Mean?

Hmmm...anyone have the lyrics to "My Spine Is The Bassline"?

lyrics to "My Spine is the Bassline":

no guts, no blood, no brains at all (x4)

my spine is the bassline
and the top line could be broken glass
all amusing views of those better men
dirty habit's hand on the purse's string

quiet fear of the passing time
gently magnify the dividing line
all this history could be blown away on a breath of lust

trajectory, synchronicity,
how the choice is made with a fresh resolve
jamming tight up to the barrier
down a string of nerves, so these feelings go

my spine is the bassline
and the top line is the distant past
all that history, all those books have gone
they've been blown away on a breath of lust

no guts, no blood, no brains at all (x4)

(rapped)
he can rip it out, the chassis and gearbox
could replace it with a neck and a chest
he can feel it in the back in the ribcage
he can kick it 'til it gets in the sense
he's been reading about dying in public
he's been tensing up his arms and his legs
he can have you home in a heap in a heartbeat
he'll go messing with the civil defense
there's no joy in the squander of resource
there's more passion in the pump of a plug
he can leave you at the club with the cashbox
he can push you at the pressure above
(repeat and fade)

***wow, now that I look at those, them are some pretty intriguing lyrics !

I was crestfallen when a friend told me that Prince's "I Would Die 4 U" was about Jesus.
