The explanation of the song title glosses over the fact that narcosis is 'the unconsciousness induced by a narcotic drug.' Not just that it pertains to narcotics...

Greengrocers' Apostrophe's?[edit]

I didn't realize this before but I see that the apostrophe in "Kennedy's" is in fact in the album's liner notes. I have always thought (and still do) that the lyric meant "members of the Kennedy family" (i.e. "Kennedy" pluralized) and not "that/those thing(s) belonging to members of the Kennedy family".

So I guess this is just a common typographical error that no one caught. Though, I wonder whether the second sense above was actually intended as an additional meaning, or whether the written lyrics intentionally parody the use of "greengrocers' apostrophes" in the written vernacular.
