going off the "Coffee's for Closers" referencing the movie version of the play Glengarry Glen Ross written by David Mamet, it leads me to believe that this song is a summation of Mamet's most famous plays: Bobby Gould in Hell, Sexual Perversity in Chicago, Glengarry Glen Ross.
The first verse ("I can't explain ... i got cold") for example (if you've read the play) sounds like a directors subtext for Bobby Gould when he is being interrogated by the Devil essentially and his assistant. He can't explain the exact reason why he's in hell, but he knows why. Its because of all the terrible terrible things that he has done.
The second verse ("i'm a mascot ... i got cold") reflects text similar to that betweent the characters in Sexual Perversity. Throughout the play they continually mimic each other phychologically "im a mascot" and metaphorically become one another.
"Fly your cameras..." is reference to how quickly these characters change throughout their respective plays.
"i will never believe again..." again references how quickly these characters change, how you cannot believe what they say even if it sounds very typical of something they would say.
"kick drum" Glengarry Glen Ross is a very nerve wracking play/movie.
"preach electric" Alec Baldwin's character in the movie is not originally in the play, however he does bring up points such as the title, however most people do not know that he was originally not in the play and that Mamet wrote the part just for Baldwin.
