And I see the sun up ahead
At the counter. I'm rich!
St. Augustine and luckiness is dead

The story:

I've been singing this song for over a decade (to myself ever since it became popular), and this is the hardest lyric I have to get used to. Wallflowers songs never made too much sense to me, like a lot of alternative rock music in the late 1990's. But I figured since the song said, "It's cold; it feels like Independence Day", it could also make the above contradiction that "I'm rich" and "luckiness is dead". Hey, that's just me. What can I say?
