I love this song but didn't have a clue as to what Dave was saying. After reading the lyrics (prior to coming on here) I'm almost positive they're talking about drugs, coke and debts due to drug dealers or mobs or something. It's pretty well known that when Mobs kill people who owe money, they'd place coins on their eyes to represent that and warn others of what will happen if they don't pay. It kind of made me sad that such a happy lighthearted song, or so I thought, is about murder. I still like it though. Plus there's the first verse about the Devil doing the do-si-do. Obviously the devil would be dancing when happy that horrible things are happening.
