The first two lines are:

 

The Tobes of Hades

Lit by flickering torchlight

 

However, there has been much speculation to the meaning of the word "tobes."

If it's so obvious why don't you explain it then?

Ok then...but only because you asked! Topher Grace is an actor. At the time this song was written, he was not yet born. So there you have it. I don't think anyone actually thinks that Neil was some sort of psychic who predicted the birth of the star of That 70s Show Edited by Geddy's Soul Patch

Oh ok. I've never heard the name before and didn't even realize it was one.

Etobicoke (Tobes) is by Toronto, so it all falls into place....

 

Apollo was astonished, Dionysus f***ed me ass

It's what happens when someone is named chrisTOPHER and doesn't think that or Chris is cool enough. Apparently pher was just too much so they went with topher. I prefer ristoph but that's just me.
