Hey, hey, hey. (x3)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
I've been sitting in the suicide lane on Highway 99,
looking for a sign in the headlights.
Well, I've been to war with my mind,
but things will be different this time.
I won't be putting up a fight.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Give me your poison pills
'cause I'm
digging my star-crossed grave tonight.
No longer living a lie,
No longer living,
No longer living a lie,
No longer living. (x2)
Hey, hey, hey.
I've been sitting by the train tracks near the backdoor of my mind (of my mind),
waiting for the planets to align.
Well, I've got a pretty good reason
to make this open season.
Hang my head above the mantle piece tonight.
Hey hey, hey hey hey.
Give me your poison pills
'cause I'm
digging my star-crossed grave tonight.
No longer living a lie,
No longer living,
No longer living a lie,
No longer living.
Give me your poison pills
'cause I'm
digging my star-crossed grave tonight.
No longer living a lie,
No longer living,
No longer living a lie.
Hey, hey hey.
Gravedigging! (x3)
We're digging our own graves!
Give me your poison pills
'cause I'm
digging my star-crossed grave tonight.
No longer living a lie,
No longer living,
No longer living a lie,
No longer living.
Give me your poison pills
'cause I'm
digging my star-crossed grave tonight.
No longer living a lie,
No longer living,
No longer living a lie.
Hey, hey hey. (x2)
Gravedigging! (x3)
We're digging our own grave!

I think topherc3103 and yeahthatgirl are on the right track. Here's my interpretation:
"I've been sitting...headlights": A suicide lane is a lane inbetween two other lanes that allows vehicles in those two outside lanes to turn left without blocking traffic. You're not supposed to drive in them for any length of time, as they are just for turning left. So, it sounds like he wants to turn away from something. He is waiting for someone to give him a signal that he can (or should?) turn (when a car flashes its lights, the person is saying you can go).
In the next stanza, it sounds like he has been struggling with whether or not to turn and make that change in his life. He has finally reached the moment where he is ready to do it though.
In the third stanza, he is saying that he is ready to lay to rest his old ways. Star-crossed is indeed from Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", and means that something was destined to happen. So I think the speaker is saying that turning from his old ways was meant to be.
So overall, I think the song is about making the decision to change one's life in some way.
