It took me an embarrassingly long time to get this song, when really the symbolism is rather obvious, glaringly so by K's Choice standards. The old woman in the wheel chair is attempting to kill herself so she can be with her deceased husband. The Pale Man in the Black Suit she speaks of is Death, who took her husband away from her. The cup of tea is still a mystery to me, but it may not have meaning, and may just be something kind of absurd and sinister to take in trade for a loved one.
