I left my "satirical but deep" review of this song recently.
It's comedy, but jokes can only be funny if they are at least a little true.
The lyrics, to me, talk about how the human experience is forced to feel and be motivated by very strong emotions... and of those, Love is the scariest of all.
A literal interpretation:
Quote:The space monk is a virgin even at his ripe old age.
Not only this, but he witnessed traumatic events like the boy's father in the act of love-making, and potentially the 'very messy' event where he had to 'clean the floors' when the boy was born.
And this was a battle; his friend (the boy's father) and he 'fought' with the 'beast' (verbal accusations and strong emotions flying) 49 times.
The space hobo is delusional from a traumatic reaction to a romantic turmoil between a love triangle with the boy's father. Perhaps the space hobo is just aware that the boy won't understand.
The boy literally says "oh, rad!" just because a scary monster has a woman's face. He's not old enough to understand. This is literally the space version of "the birds and the bees".
For secondary English-language speakers:
The song uses slang in a potentially clever way. A bush can refer to the hair "down there".
"The Birds and the Bees" is a common allegory parents use to explain sexual life to their children.
