TMBG are usually pretty straight forward on their lyrics. Seems to me to be about underground disco/techno night clubs. TMBG are from New York and there are a number of clubs that pop up in unusual places; since the stores or buildings are not meant to be clubs it can be frustrating, there's usually no tables or lockers to place your things; since it's not a permanent establishment there's no uniforms for the employees running the club; often the sound levels are off and there's no way to hear anything.
At first the lyrics state:
"Baby check this out I've got something to say"
"When they stop the drum machine and I can think again"
But change to
"Baby check this out I've got something to say"
"When they start the love machine and I can laugh again"
Perhaps what he has to say is that he loves the person he's going out with?
