I agree with AmINotYours? on both accounts :-P.

This is a song about turning lemons into lemonade, metaphorically speaking. The narrator persistently waits for this person of importance to call him, so he waits up for them. While in the act, he actually grows a close relationship with these vermin in his apartment, almost hinting that the person who never calls is lesser for neglecting him. Very clever, very deep, and an overall great song.
