It's a metaphor for anal sex.

Isn't everything?

In my world, yes.

My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hue
An everlasting vision of the everchanging view
A wondrous woven magic in bits of blue and gold
A tapestry to feel and see, impossible to hold

Once amid the soft silver sadness in the sky
There came a man of fortune, a drifter passing by
He wore a torn and tattered cloth around his leathered hide
And a coat of many colors, yellow-green on either side

He moved with some uncertainty, as if he didn't know
Just what he was there for, or where he ought to go
Once he reached for something golden hanging from a tree
And his hand come down empty

Soon within my tapestry along the rutted road
He sat down on a river rock and turned into a toad
It seemed that he had fallen into someone's wicked spell
And I wept to see him suffer, though I didn't know him well

As I watched in sorrow, there suddenly appeared
A figure gray and ghostly beneath a flowing beard
In times of deepest darkness, I've seen him dressed in black
Now my tapestry's unraveling; he's come to take me back
He's come to take me back

"World".

Tuomas (Tuomas), Sunday, 23 April 2006 10:48 (twenty years ago)

He moved with some uncertainty, as if he didn't know
Just what he was there for, or where he ought to go

I rest my case.

i think it's about anal sex with Warren Beatty. 75% of all songs from the 70's were actually about anal sex with Warren Beatty.
