Phish – Sample In A Jar Lyrics 1 year ago
I think its pretty straight forward...
Being at a party with someone you are in a "shaky" relationship with... "I wheeled around because I didn't hear what you had said"
-wheeled around is not referring to being in a wheelchair It is an older expression that means wandering around-
She probably said "I'll be over there" or "I'm going to go get a drink" he wanders (wheeled)around the party... and is probably overserved or continues to get overserved... before or because of he saw her "dancing around in lemoore's bed... with elahu" At this point he's pissed and drunk she helps him to his car...
The next morning "as the market stands unfolded" People who were there getting coffee or whatever they have seen him or been at that same party...
"I shuffled by alert but numb to all the glances and the glares" he doesn't care that people saw him drunk and needing a ride home... He's more frustrated and upset about the fact he saw his girlfriend being flirtatious and or cheating on him... (maybe because he does drink too much) And that's why he says "it's now I knew that you knew that I'd soon end up and up"

The last part could refer to either the girlfriend or alcohol itself:
you tricked me like the others and now I don't belong the simple smiles and good times seem all wrong...
I think this last line speaks for itself from either perspective...
