This is by far my favorite Modest Mouse song and I have all the LPs.
You are all over thinking it. Look at the album as a whole. It's all about a trip. A Lonely guy even on his way to the West, if you will. A guy who wants to break away from where he's at. "no allowed much danger". So he buys a car from a used car sales man with very shiny teeth who sells him a lemon.
In the album he drives around goes to a lounge sees a girl tries some heroin, has an epiphany about god, and wakes up 'doing the cockroach', which is waking up on your back in a convulsion like state. In the lounge he also meets Cowboy Dan an figures out hes just Trailer Trash, and keeps on driving. He runs Out Of Gas, gets drunk and starts drunk dialing. He meets a trucker at the bar and turns out he just screws him over and he finds out that everyone is on their own but it's ok.
