This song makes a couple of geographical references to Seattle: The Viaduct and Second Ave.
The “will to change” part must be tongue-in-cheek. Clearly Lanegan did not discover the will to change for quite some time after leaving Seattle.
A burst of blackbirds in the sky
All of a sudden, this beautiful day
Far past the zenith of my high
Has given me the will to change
But I'm so tired, I'm wide awake
A pedestrian's dying cry
Piercing the air on this beautiful day
Hit by a taxi driving by
And taking my resolve to school
Staring at the street where the blood has pooled
All on this beautiful day
All on this beautiful day
All on this beautiful day
All on this beautiful day
All on this beautiful day
A walk beneath the viaduct
Laughing to myself at some stupid old joke
The thought occurs to get unfucked
I stand on Second Ave trying to bum a smoke
A cop says, "Move along," lest I get locked up
All on this beautiful day
All on this beautiful day
I find a wallet on the ground
And I'm a king for one beautiful day
I hear an unfamiliar sound
Telling me I cannot stay
But I've been gone so long now anyway
Burst of blackbirds in the sky
All of a sudden, this beautiful day
Far past the zenith of my high
Has given me the will to change
But I'm so tired, I'm wide awake
I'm so tired, I'm wide awake
I'm so tired, I'm wide awake
All on this beautiful day
All on this beautiful day
