	The music video pretty much explains this song, which I shall explain. In the video, there is a tower with 4 layers, on the top layer is Les and the band, and they are playing on bicycles, which are turning the gears to the giant structure under them. Under that is a black goddess dancing to the slide guitar riff, and under her is a woman in a white wedding dress who is teaching to the children below her in sign language. This song's meaning is pretty vague, Les made the lyrics to simply be words of wisdom.
