Does anyone have a clue what all the lyrics are about? "The bodies on the screen stopped bleeding??"

@Teakettle The bodies on the screen stopped bleeding--I think this is a Vietnam War reference. The war was still going on when this album was released, and Americans were exposed every night on the news to quite graphic and gory video of the war. So the party was so good, or the drugs so strong, or both, that the bodies on the (TV) screen stopped bleeding.
