...Twenty Flight" also provides a subtle reminder of the Stones' fascination with their own aging, as expressed on recent albums and in countless interviews. It's the tale of a fella hot to truth whose babe lives on you-know-which floor. She's all alone and ready to rock, but when he gets to the top he's too pooped to put out.
