If it is "storyville," which i think it is, then i think it makes better sense with the last verse. My interpretation: I got busted by vice, while i was on prescription drugs (painkillers? during a detox, there can be pain and increased libido). I need a hit. (If it is "punch," he is referencing Charlie's abuse. If it is "bunch," he is again talking about painkillers. "Punch" makes more sense with "drug in the water.") I hate that I need this so much. I hate how it makes me. It was so much better the first time, when she showed me. Now I'm stuck in this addiction. I have a hard time keeping track of my life. My life is so pointless. I wish it would end. So I'm sitting here in jail, and my cell-mate has this way about him. He contradicts himself and acts illogically. At first I felt like I was better than him, but now I see. We're the same. When I get out, I'm shooting up. I don't care anymore. This is the only way I can feel good.
