i agree with you, underthestars32, about alcohol and sex, but id say its trying to compensate for lost love. especially the last 2 verses:
Who needs thinking
When the drinks are on the house
Evaporating
All the time I was in doubt
I've been sleeping
With a better girl than you
Loved her stories
All the photographs
Its true
Goodnight
Palace of pleasure
Good morning blues
I guess we'll never know
What could've been
The dream is over
Go back to sleep again
the 2nd last verse alludes to the lost love, saying that he had been sleeping with a better girl than he is now, and the last verse is saying goodbye to the old, seemingly euphoric ways of love. the dream is over (love), and he is trying to go back to sleep (re-find it in all the old places)
idk this is just my interpretation, probably just because i can relate to this view.
