The "Cold, kind" part would corralate with being on quaaludes but seeings how it's seperated by a comma, plus the word 'and', it looks to me as if he talking about multiple sides of his personality. (Whether under the influence or not)
The drug is a powerful hypnotic and sedative. So the rest of song basically falls in line. "Please don't drop bombs on me.. I beg of thee.. Just leave in me in peace" - Richard doesn't want to get into an argument when he's feeling that great. Why ruin the high?
I never thought about the red light district theory but it completely makes sense. Especially for the "wommen in green.. winter coats.. working for the tip" If you take that into accoutn then think of this. Richard has a girl friend and she's fed up with his life style of sex and drugs. So she then takes to the bottle so as to cope with her pain.
These are my gueses though they could very well be wrong. Beautiful song though. Emily gives me the shivers with those kind of vocals. And Erik, dear God can he play the violin.
From my understanding the term "Lemon Eyes" is a referrence to doing quaaludes.
