Cigarettes And Carrot Juice was the name of the box set of their first 3 albums, and the liner notes say this was kind of the typical young Santa Cruz resident\'s diet. So I think the first verse is basically a really brief summary of their pre-reunion career (the bit about the serpents is probably a sardonic nod to their \"selling out\" and going to a major label). The rest kind of loses me, but Quetzalcoatl was an Aztec god (which probably ties in to the part about human sacrifice), Box O\' Laffs was David Lowery\'s pre-CVB band, I think I\'ve heard of Rodney On The ROQ being a california DJ who got a lot of punk music on the air, and David Byrne is of course the singer for Talking Heads.
