My roommate heard the one line as "there's a hole in the subway!" which led to a whole alternate reading of the song as being about a subterranean gang operating out of secret subway tunnels, etc. I have no recollection of how the rest of the lyrics could be tied to this, mind you. Great song, the chorus organ part is one of my favorite little things to fiddle out when I sit down at a keyboard (although agreed, the bass part is kind of absurdly plodding).
Overall good record although off the top of my head I can't reconstruct any of the second side...
