I know this song is pretty obvious but I'll add my two cents anyway.
This is clearly Yoni coming to terms with the death of cLOUDDEAD; the resentment that was evident at the end of their run is the second stanza, the futile attempt at revivification (the bra-tourniquet bit) is Ten, and Billy the Kid is an allegorical representation of the group.
"Three coins"? Obviously the three members Yoni, Adam, and David. The solitude is obviously due to the fat that the group is over. This song is about making sense of a personal tragedy, obviously, not the group itself. The reference to Fairmount Street is clearly reminiscent of the last line of Apt. A; "33 E. McMillan St. Apt." An apartment on McMillan St with a laundromat on fairmount. Sound familiar to anyone?
Very nice interpretation.
Even though that's Yoni's reason for the song, I for some reason see it completely differently. I kind of take the first part more literally for some reason. It makes me feel a certain way that I can't really explain.
