I think this song is about groupies, and the mixed feelings one gets from being with them. This would be especially true in the early to mid-nineties when the song was written. Rock and roll excess was kinda passe' at the time, but Shudder To Think were kind of the exception to the rule, especially in the UBER-P/C world of DC hardcore from which the band sprang. I think STT embraced that culture with a knowing wink and a nod.
"My mouth is a cold sore display case." - STD imagery, anyone?
"All over town they've got these like messenger girls that ride around on innertubes" - Girls that go from band to band riding on condom covered cocks.
"Their asses are all scraped up, their eyes cold." - They've been used and abused and are completely numb to any emotional attachment.
"Kick me off the bus, y'all." - A bandmember has to wait outside while his bandmate gets his groove on in the tour bus.
"One honey donut and your lips are stuck to the seat" - After a sweet piece of ass ("honey donut") you're getting sick ("lips are stuck to the seat") the seat being the toilet.
