8.31.2009 - Meaning of Lucretia?

Hey, just a quick question. I was wondering what the meaning was of the song "Lucretia." I know the story of the Roman girl Lucretia, but the lyrics of this song seem to be about a ghost or a haunted house of some kind. Any clarification? Thanks in advance!

Here's a quick explanation from Dave in 1990:

"It's about this guy who happens to be named Dave, and he just has problems, and his friends all think he's crazy and he goes to see this fortune teller. She talks about how he feels, where he's going, how he gets there, and the fact that she knew he was coming and she's been waiting for him for a long time."
