Jefferson Holt was their manager. they fired him several years ago over a sexual harrassment charge. This song does refer to him. Nowadays Michael sings the lyric as "Washington". That's either bad blood or a legal requirement.

What a great song..."Jefferson, I think we're lost..." Michael was way ahead of his time at 20 yrs old or whatever he was when he wrote it.

Jefferson is a reference to their band attorney, Jefferson Holt.

I always thought it was a reference to the Lewis and Clark expedition, for some weird reason, and "Jefferson" was Thomas Jefferson.

me too ! i always thought it was Thomas Jefferson... its a bit more obvious
Stipe changed the lyrics in 2003 to "Washington I think we're bored"

AUS10TEX is correct, the line refers to Jefferson Holt Attorney. If I'm not mistaken its reference to being lost while driving to a show.
