I'm not very talented on the "lyric-o-meter" when it comes to deciphering meaning, but I always thought (or may have read or been told) that the whole song is a metaphor. "Wall street shuffles there, dressed in flowing hair"...that sort of thing.

I know Neil's the word god, but I'll bust his ass if deserved ("Countdown", the bright "stuff" of dreams, for instance). but I'm pretty sure that's the tenor of "Bald". Let me know what you think...

Impassioned vocals...read: screeching
