One correction:
"Nobody's wanna freeze over," should be "I know bodies of water freeze over."
Seems relatively straight-forward (for a Hold Steady song).
"Yeah, sure the stars in the sky
But the money's still down on the ground"
--It seems like he (whoever that may be, maybe Craig) is talking to someone who is a dreamer, who has their head in the clouds. He is sort of pulling them back to reality -- "You can't tell people what they want to hear if you also want to tell them the truth."
The whole "you can't get every girl," philosophy falls in line with that.
The analogy to being in the center of a melting lake basically would mean the kid is living in dangerous territory, but I'm not sure about the specifics.
