when i first heard the song, i thought it was just typical claypool humor (having since come to find out that there is method behind all of his madness) "up on the roof again, please don't take my ladder away" seemed straightforward enough, i mean who wants to find themselves up on a roof without a ladder to get back down with. but after reading the verse lyrics the ladder in question is to get BACK on the roof again. jones is a common reference to drug cravings. shorty hairs are pubes.
