Fairweather Friends

Assorted observations: As other commenters have mentioned, "drink wine and screw" also appears in the lyrics to "Walkin' On The Sidewalks" off their first record. Although he later backtracked, Homme credited said eponymous record as an influence on the current one. Secondly, "It ain't so long before the dawn, when the sun is gone so are you," transitions into "gonna pray for rain again and again," which suggests that he might actually welcome the storm if it reveals who his true friends are.
Less apparent is how these references relate to "My God Is The Sun." I have difficulty understanding that track anyway, but this track certainly seems to mark a shift in his attitude toward the sun. The best I can do is to suggest that he regards the sun, and god, and possibly fate, as among the "fairweather friends" which he's cutting ties with. The opening lines could as easily relate to the sun as to another person. The sun also combusts vampires, who seem to be a theme on this album. Some have suggested that Homme regards himself as literally undead after dying on the operating table, and a traditional vampire would certainly prefer rain to sunny skies. "The Vampire of Time and Memory" seems to conceptualize a vampire as something feeding on human misery, and the metaphorical rain in this song does represent said misery. That's all I got. Anyone else know anything?
