Cyndi explains the meaning of this song in the Idiot's Delight radio interview. The pigeon metaphor refers to temporary freedom. "Sally's pigeons" would fly freely during the day, but at night they would always return to their cages. The idea of temporary freedom carries over to the experiences in the lives of Sally and her friend. When Sally's friend discovers she is pregnant, her freedom is squelched after the sexual freedom she has experienced.
