The song was a staple of the Black Market Music and Sleeping With Ghosts tours.

Trivia
The phrase "come back to me awhile" is taken from the Sonic Youth song "Catholic Block", found on their album Sister.
The song was used in an episode from the United States version of Queer as Folk.
The bass riff is almost identical to Roger Waters' "Let There Be More Light" from the Pink Floyd album A Saucerful of Secrets. The track Block Rockin' Beats from the 1997 The Chemical Brothers album Dig Your Own Hole also reaps from the before mentioned Pink Floyd album.
