The meaning of this song is that Fat Mike loves linoleum floors.

Here I break it down line by line

Possessions never meant anything to me - i don't need things like other people do. I'm not crazy - This fact does not make me insane. Well that's not true, I've got a bed, and a guitar - Actually, my bed and my guitar are pretty important to me. And a dog named Bob who pisses on my floor - I also like my dog who pisses on my floor (???) That's right, I've got a floor - You know it sucka, I got a floor. So what, so what, so what? - So what? so what? so what? I've got pockets full of Kleenex and lint and holes - I have pants with pockets. In the pockets are kleenex, lint, and holes. Where everything important to me - ??? Just seems to fall right down my leg - he lost me here. And onto the floor - So he peed? My closest friend, linoleum - thank god i have a linolium floor Linoleum - Supports my head, gives me something to believe - Ok so, admittedly material posessions are important That's me on the beachside combing the sand - Pickture this, I'm on the beachside, combing the sand Metal meter in my hand - looking for money with a metal meter Sporting a pocket full of change - There's my change That's me on the street with a violin under my chin - Wait, now I'm playing violin like if I had violin lessons Playing with a grin, singing gibberish - Playing with a smile, singing gibberish (why?) That's me on the back of the bus - I'm in the back of the bus cause I suck That's me in the cell - I'm in the cell (what kind of cell? a jail cell perhaps. people with tattoos come to mind.) That's me inside your head - I'm inside your head That's me inside your head That's me inside your head
