I can't believe no one's commented on this. I love this song.

First a correction. I think the line is "you were the foundres of the clinic in the hills."

I think over all it's pretty much about a guy who's addicted to drugs and owes his dealers a lot of money, so he decides to get a gun and just kill anyone who stands in his way. But that doesn't really some any of his problems.

I love the twangy, western guitars. I can definitely Steely Dan's influence on Midlake in this song.

You are correct...it is 'founders of the clinic IN the hills".
