I think this song is about the pressure of finding success as a band. It's an ode to their manager :). "I know you put in the hours to keep me in sunglasses" meaning someone has been working hard to make them a success.
"And so and now I'm sorry I missed you
I had a secret meeting in the basement of my brain
It went the dull and wicked ordinary way"
He blew off a responsibility or committment or appointment to go relax and get stoned by himself.
I think what they are shouting in the background at the end is "Don't draw the ace then fold it" which makes sense in the context of having anxiety about getting famous. Most bands don't get the chance for real success (drawing the ace) - don't throw it away just because it scares you (folding it).
