According to SongFacts, Milez Iz Ded was written about legendary jazz trumpeter Miles Davis, and the demons that consumed much of his life. It’s both an energetic and mournful tune at the same time. The drums and guitars drive it all forward, but Greg Dulli’s vocals give a certain center. Very well done, and in particular the video, which I highly recommend watching (not for the kids though).

Here’s a link to the video

And of course, the lyrics:

If I stepped it off
Walked outside your trance
Crawled inside your mind
And got my hands into your pants
Wouldn’t that beat all
Wouldn’t that be great
And all the things you do to me
We could exaggerate
Now everybody knows
Or everybody wants to know
The hows, the whens, the whys
Of how I said goodbye
Don’t forget the alcohol
Ooh baby ooh baby
Don’t forget the alcohol
Ooh baby ooh baby
Don’t forget the alcohol
If i stepped it off
Walked outside your trance
Crawled inside your mind
And got my hand into your pants
Don’t forget the alcohol
Ooh baby ooh baby
Don’t forget the alcohol
