I split up the video into songs and tried to include most of it, so there are some parts of the crowd yelling stuff or Elliott tuning. Enjoy it though.

I though I might be able to sing a little bit of Elliott's music through vocal layering, then I heard this. Nope. I can't even begin to compare.

I have always felt that way about the song, too. It feels like an epic multi-part song like Bohemian Rhapsody or Paranoid Android, but then the song is over and I notice not even 3 minutes have passed.

I love how intricate his songs are. There's so many variations on the main progressions, and so much depth and beauty to every line of lyric as well. He was one of a kind.

Mary K is most likely a reference to Ketamine just to help everyone on a possible interpretation for this song.

jimmy - this song is an attempt to communicate with others who have seen her. You know if you know. Not a mental illness but a spiritual phenomena. Nothing to do with jack the ripper or special k either.

Joanna Bolme said it was a very personal tune about a girl/relationship... potentially herself. And she would know.

The lyrics strike me more as the ketamine analogy. What you've said may well be true, but there were a hell of a lot of hidden meanings in his songs.
