I think the song is about women's self-betrayal, the denial of their wild nature. The rooster crows seems to refer to the gospel story of Peter denying knowing Jesus three times before the cock crows (matches in with slight gospel-ly feel of the chorus). by living the civilised veneer of drinking coffee and tea and living false relationships where she pretends to be compliant and sweet, women who are truly wild and fierce at heart betray themselves - but the wildness comes out - stabbing the man in the back.
