Note: audio only. The song opens with a driving guitar riff that appears throughout the song. The song`s lyrics have been interpreted as relating to marijuana,[1] as the song references places such as Colombia, Mexico, Cambodia, Jamaica, Morocco, Thailand, Afghanistan,"golden acapulco nights," (a possible reference to Acapulco gold) and Lebanon. In earlier performances of the song (such as the version recorded on Exit...Stage Left), Geddy Lee would use a doubleneck Rickenbacker guitar, so that he could play rhythm guitar during Alex Lifeson`s guitar solo. The arrangement has been changed in more recent performances, and Lee no longer uses the doubleneck to play the song. During the performance of this song on the 2007 Snakes And Arrows Tour, the video footage projected behind the band includes close-up shots of marijuana plants and scenes from the movie Reefer Madness, reinforcing the common intrepretation of the song.
