The motive of the bird going south on the Atmos’

Did anybody catch on to that line? This ties to how Slug refers to girls as birds (Bird Sings Why the Caged I Know). This just talks about the girl going down on him. Its a heavily sexual song, but this girl is drugged up.

Picture a hole Put your hero in Envision the gold Now zero in Been watching your night train track for the last few stops With no desire to hop it How did we end up in your apartment Pocket full of gossip says this ain’t smart When it’s all said and done, can’t get restart But I’ll be damned if I don’t wanna kiss you-- Hard

Basically a description of putting his dick in this chick and "going for the gold" which is to get off. And then "pocket full of gossip" might mean that this sexual encounter is kinda controversial. Maybe they are cheating on their partners with each other? But Slug doesnt care because he has wanted to fuck her so bad...

I think it's related to both - sex and drugs. picture a hole, put your HERO IN envision the gold now zero in

<<< could be about a dick or a needle

Been watching your night train track for the last few stops With no desire to hop it

<<< could be about the addiction of the girl, and he doesnt want to use this drug too. or the girl is a whore, and he knows that, so she had many lovers and he has never felt like he wants to "hop on her"
