I made an account just for this song.
After looking at the lyrics for a while, it hit me like a hammer:
It's about an STD.
Definitely.
"The present in your lap has already been unwrapped
Already given and already used, many times before you"
The girl he's going to get horizontal with isn't exactly sparkling new, if you know what he means. Wink wink.
"That knowing where it's been makes you worry that within
It's been tampered with, has it gone bad?
Open it and see"
He's not sure she's clean, but hey, the heat of the moment and all, right?
"
Maybe it's filled to the brim with magic pennies!
Each time the present is received there are more!
And they will roll all over the floor and past your feet
And give themselves away out on the street to everyone they meet!"
Ooooh there we go, the symptoms are showing! And it's contagious, too.
"
Grab the pennies off the floor
Take the pennies to a store
Buy everything you could afford
And don't tell anyone"
Yes, if I were you I'd go see the doctor too. Shame, shame.
...Am I entirely wrong for thinking this? It just makes SO MUCH SENSE!

I know, but I genuinely think this is what he's singing about... The "don't tell anyone" at the end makes too much sense.
