First: Sleestaks are the lizard race from the Land of the Lost TV series. Go check that out now.
Definitely a song about a drug lab exploding (meth? coke?). Cloissone is an art form that requires a powdered enamel coating to be applied before kiln-firing an object. So let's assume a similarity between a pottery oven and the stoves required to manufacture drugs. Now layer in the elements regarding "business", "mind your business", "law enforcement", raining pain, exploding craft, choking on the dust, etc.
By the time we get to Sleestaks and the other psychadelic imagery, the protagontist has inhales or otherwise absorbed enough of the drug to FREAK HIM OUT.

Also, I agree with you on the Sleestak reference, but I want to go deeper: Perhaps as he's flippin' his shit, police wearing gasmasks come into his house, and he hallucinates and sees Sleestaks instead–and then doesn't remember what they are or why he could even recall their form.

He could also be tripping as he's talking to the "drops of pain", too. Meth probably hurts a lot when it explodes all over you, and if the smoke triggered any...

Thanks for sharing your interpretation! It was fun to build on. :)
Ok, time for you amateurs to take a seat.
