I've always LOVED this song.
Seems like the first verse is all about success (when you're hot you're hot), and undergound/cult cred. (promise me you'll always be too awake to be famous, too wired to be safe) -- I know that there are a lot of bands that fit these lyrics -- I used to love them, but, for whatever reason, they "jumped the shark", and lost whatever it was that made them great in the first place.
The "carry on / carrion" lines are wonderful. Perhaps any modicum of success is a grind (marathon) of some sort, but in the end, who cares? (carrion -- it's what we all become).
