Lyric Descussion for Red Vines

I am confused about the song Red Vines.
Can you be so kind to give me your interpretation of the song?

Thanks a million!

Tiff-

If you want to do a line by line I can post the lyrics:

Here you go
----
Red Vines


They're all still on their
honeymood
just read the dialogue balloon
everyone loves you -
why should they not?
And I'm the only one who knows
that Disneyland's about to close
I don't suppose you'd give it a shot
knowing all that you've got


Are cigarettes and Red Vines
just close your eyes, 'cause baby -
you never do know
and I'll be on the sidelines,
with my hands tied
watching the show


Well, it's always fun and games
until
it's clear you haven't got the skill
in keeping the gag from
going too far
So you're running 'round the
parking lot
'til every lightning bug is caught
punching some pinholes
in the lid of a jar
while we wait in the car


With cigarettes and Red Vines
just close your eyes, 'cause baby -
you never do know
and I'll be on the sidelines,
with my hands tied
watching the show


And tell me, would it kill you
would it really spoil everything
if you didn't blame yourself
do you know what I mean?


Cigarettes and Red Vines
just close your eyes, 'cause
baby -
you never do know
and I'll be on the sidelines,
with my hands tied,
wathcing the show
watching the show

i've said it before in another red vines thread but why not say it again given that you started there. aimee said in some interview:

"In 'Red Vines,' instead of 'They're all still on their honeymoon/just read the dialogue balloon,' I'd originally written, 'They're all still on their honeymoon/it's Underdog Day Afternoon' (laughs). Which I thought was just a bit much, although for a while there I was going to call the record Underdog Day."





There is nothing that competes with habit
And i know it's neither deep nor tragic
It's simply that you have to have it
