The lyrics read like a script, especially for a play.
Most artforms work with tone, and this applies to music and theater. While watching some sort of theater performance, all these aspects that go into setting a specific mood (like a "Prelude to Fear") aren't directly told to the audience. Instead, they're expressed by these things in the lyrics, "Midday, aerobic jog, through streets not well lit by lamplight."
So what's the meaning? I don't know if it goes beyond Claypool's facetious sense of humor. But I do like this song a lot.
