I've seen/heard Brian talking about it in a few places. I guess the cigarette burns part is about James Dean. I have an audio clip of him introducing the song at a concert, saying, "There's an old story that somebody told me once about James Dean. For those of you who don't know this yet, James Dean was gay. Yes, I'm sorry, it's true. He had a particular fetish where he liked to have cigarettes stubbed out on his chest. That's kind of an image that's always stayed with me, and part of the inspiration for this song."
I hope that maybe helps a little. It kind of ties in with the "ashtray girl" part.
Incredible song.
