Clean up before she comes
Living in a dusty town
Something in her eyes
Must be the smoke from my lungs
Something in her eyes
Must be the smoke from my lungs
Twenty months has it all
I must be getting old(3x)
Something in her eyes
Must be the smoke from my lungs
Something in her eyes
Must be the smoke from my lungs
Clean up the dusty town
Living in a dusty ton
Clean up before she comes
Living in a dusty town
I must be getting old
I must be getting old
I'm starting to eat my vegetables
Living in a dusty town
Something in her eyes
Must be the smoke from my lungs
Something in her eyes
Must be the smoke from my lungs
Twenty months has it all
I must be getting old(3x)
Something in her eyes
Must be the smoke from my lungs
Something in her eyes
Must be the smoke from my lungs
Clean up the dusty town
Living in a dusty ton
Clean up before she comes
Living in a dusty town
I must be getting old
I must be getting old
I'm starting to eat my vegetables

and someone he was with was against him taking them so he has to clean up before she gets home and then she is suspicious hence the something in her eyes. Maybe the getting older and eating vegetables is about how he feels hes being treated like a child so hes taking the piss out of her. Like hes telling her hes being healthier and then getting stoned of his face while shes away!!!!
Clean up before she comes could refer to 'cleaning up' after sex, especially since men are notorious for cumming first. Have sex, clean up in the bathroom, come back to a disappointed girl. More generally, it refers to the monotony of adult life, like this is how it always happens, and Kurt doesn't like being an adult...
But it happens anyway. I'm starting to eat my vegetables. Clean up the dusty town, his world that has become unmoving with monotony. Unmoving collects dust.
And finally, I think that I'm getting older. Said in a tone that is slightly eerie the first time you hear it.
This whole thing was spawned by the haunting last line, which is sung with a note of bitter, world-weary resent.
The voice shakes a little bit as acceptance sets in.
