This song describes all of the many hilariously, poetic and tragic "miss"haps that happen to people who are "the third in an either or option." "Miss" haps most "either ors" would never even think of, let alone experience. Bottom line: Being constantly scrutinized and ogled by people who are trying to "figure you out", in many cases as a distraction for avoiding figuring themselves out) is a lot to deal with! That's why "flower power" and Glam Rock will always be such necessary allies.
Incidentally: My brother always laughed at this song. Before it was even finished. And because it wasn't finished. Laughed in a loving way. He thought it was a fun idea. He's one of my biggest fans. (He just didn't know he was for years.) Well on that note, after 3 years, whether it's Ms., Miss or Mr., it's finished. And it's only just begun.
