I'm going to analyze this from a historical stand-point. I was thinking that this song could actually be about the halocaust. The Jews were stripped of everything. When discovered by Nazi police, they were to be imprisoned. "The Wrecking Yard" is life after being discovered. And the last four lines of the second verse is about all those that went to the gas chambers. People in that time believed that the only way to escape was death, so that's why they're dancing up above the sky, and the last of those four lines, "You'll see them asleep in the rain tonight" is supposed to represent the bodies after they've died and the fear that people have that they'll be next.
