Lyric discussion by gypsyXcurse 

I think this song might also be about addictions, the "kangaroo lady" is a woman who is an alcoholic. "The freaks come out at nine" refers to drug dealers. The vaseline gypsies might also refer to dealers but I think it's supposed to mean prostitutes. They're saying "whats this funk, that you call 'junk' (junk being slang for drugs.) "ain't your business if I got no monkey on my back" means it's nobodies business if I don't have a devil on my shoulder, meaning an addiction.

I agree.. I think it's refering to the junkies.. I think they had a lot of friends on junk.. Wasted Time is also about on of their junkie friends who od'ed..

What ever the meaning.. Slamming tune!! S Bach Had an awesome voice back in the day..Thank god he got it all on tape :)

@gypsyXcurse I agree with you also it's about drug addiction. Having a monkey on your back is slang for drug addiction What this funk that you call junk, junk is slang for heroin addiction.
