Tso has got it right. Here is a little more. Peter is drowning his sorrows in the wine, hence "Bacchus", reflecting on a relationship gone bad saying "she hates me". He is walking down Red Hook Rd in Brooklyn where there used to be cobblestone walkways hence the "cobblestone grave" where he is drinking himself to death. The "lonely blue girl" is the statue of liberty which he can see while walking out on pier 6 with his bottle of wine "bacchus". He is counting the cracks with "bacchus" not the girl. "I'll stop the train to say hello" is him threatening suicide, throwing himself in front of the train. And "bacchus", the wine, is reminding him that he is the "used boyfriend" that bought his exgirlfriend a new car and he feels used.
The ex-girlfriend broke up with him because of his drinking problem telling him the he and bacchus, the wine/booze, will burn together. The lyrics at the end that are sung in a deep voice is a death requiem.
