I agree by and large with Froggie Frog's interpretation above, except this part:
"So we bent our spoons and howled at the moon to find what science replaced
And it turns out it aint that much
Though I may have missed in in the haze
Oh it drips in your mind
And fills up your eyes
And you'll never be the same"
I think this bit is about spirituality, and is where the song gets a bit philosophical. The idea being that the people in the song haven't found any fulfillment from spirituality, so now they look to illicit drugs - science's chemical replacement for the euphoria of a spiritual experience. What they find out is that there is nothing beyond life and the high... though they still hold on and assume they just missed it. And even though they couldn't achieve what they were looking for, through either spirituality or drugs, they are forever changed by trying.
Bit heavy I suppose, but that's the interpretation I like. :)
