Upon first hearing the latest Decemberist single, "O Valencia," did anyone else think it was a new They Might Be Giants song?

The lines "Like either heads or tails / Would let me know if I should go / Back to the ship or back to jail" seem almost parenthetical due to the inclusion of the "like." I think he's rationalising a decision he made well in advance.

The ship is a luxury yacht representing freedom at the cost of selfishness, genocide and global warming.
