I first heard this song and of these back a few years back when the Dresden Dolls were on "rage" (Oz music show) and showed the vid. I thought they were saying "body was covered in coke fizz", but thought that can't be right.
The first verse seem to be speaking to a fan/groupie of a band hanging around the backstage entrance to get some action. Then it kind of says how they're only in town on tour and we'll be hitting the road onto the next town, so like what are you expecting to happen that we'll fall in love and just stop and settle in wherever the hell we are?
The second verse in saying that if you understand what we said in the first verse and are aware that it's only going to be a one night thing, then let's go for it.
But then the chorus suggests that despite the possibilty of those scenarios happening, it's more likely the members of a band will wind up falling asleep with a can on coke in between their legs than another person because being in the band dominates their life, kind of.

Anyway that's how I interpret the lyrics.
