almost everyone is missing the point of this song.
the story behind it is that the narrator is in trouble, weather it be debt or something else. he wants to get away and start over. when he says "i met a guy and did a favor for him", it means a hit, possibly the "chicken man'' who is a mob boss. "everything dies thats a fact, but maybe everything that dies someday comes back" means that people might come after him to get revenge for the hit of their boss. "...meet me in atlantic city" and "two tickets on that coast city bus" means that he has a way to get away and he wants his significant other to be able to come with him so they can start over.
