Cover art for Gila lyrics by Beach House

One facet of the song is that it bitterly talks about the negative activities on someone... "So you throw your babies pennies down the well" "It's why you keep your little lovers in your lap"

Could "Gila" be a reference to Gila Monsters (a fairly common North American poisonous lizard)?

Any other ideas on the meaning of the title and chorus word?
