Soon the stares catch
We begin to kill the calm as we
Feed on the facts let's give in
Let's give in to give in more
Still on the knees
Such as shame
The cat's up and run away
Scratched at me first
Then the boy
Gonna panic for a little more
Watch the tail boy
Watch the tail
Like to be feeling the sand
Bring color
Back to both my arms the sun
Let it do damage like they said it
Would if given chance
Had to be shouting your voices
Scheming devils
Never make it through
Hey way to go lad
Hey way to go (Can't wait to go)
Closing out all my tabs
Tighten down the pitiful
Lend you a pen
Write it down
Or you know what you can do
With that
Watch that tail boy
Watch that tail
Let's let the panic bloom
Could help us all end up in the
Clear
Then let the havoc choose
To shape us all, push us to invent
We can feed off shame all day
We could feed off the shame all day
We begin to kill the calm as we
Feed on the facts let's give in
Let's give in to give in more
Still on the knees
Such as shame
The cat's up and run away
Scratched at me first
Then the boy
Gonna panic for a little more
Watch the tail boy
Watch the tail
Like to be feeling the sand
Bring color
Back to both my arms the sun
Let it do damage like they said it
Would if given chance
Had to be shouting your voices
Scheming devils
Never make it through
Hey way to go lad
Hey way to go (Can't wait to go)
Closing out all my tabs
Tighten down the pitiful
Lend you a pen
Write it down
Or you know what you can do
With that
Watch that tail boy
Watch that tail
Let's let the panic bloom
Could help us all end up in the
Clear
Then let the havoc choose
To shape us all, push us to invent
We can feed off shame all day
We could feed off the shame all day

I think anthonymed had this right for the most part. This song is about how party-goers (particularly male) can be pathetic.
They go to bars/clubs and "begin to kill the calm." They give in to drinking which lends themselves more to the lewd behavior. ("give in to give in more")
The cat in this case is a girl one of them was trying to pick up at the club, who probably slapped him for saying something offensive ("scratched at me first"). Watching "the tail" is like watching her leave the club, walking out on them. He's saying "way to go boy" sarcastically because the boy offended her and ruined any chances of hooking up with her. The boy in this case is also a "scheming devil" in in that he was trying to take advantage of her, they "never make it through."
The name "Mexican Sun" refers to how such types of people will take trips to Mexico because they think they can get away with party activities that are deemed illegal in the United States. In the chorus, they are on the beach, again being 'macho' and not caring if the sun burns their skin.
