If you read some interviews at the time the album came out, this song deals with Conry's Bar west, but also adds the idea that there is a secret organization called "the motif of the rose" there that passes drugs through kisses, in a sort of initiation ritual.
Oh, and "Gin glows in the dark" refers to an event that actually happened at the bar while the band was playing there. Someone spilled a drink and it glowed in the dark.
