Warren was never actually a real coroner. He was given the title of coroner by a buddy who had the power to do it but he never acted as a coroner that I'm aware of. Odd story never the less.
The meaning of this song for me is rather aparant and was Warren's inability to maintain a longterm healthy relationship.
"It's lonely up here, when the tricks have been played, and the spotlight has faded and the dreams that we made, have fallen apart, it's lonely as hell, and there's no magic spell for a broken heart."
and the line "Put me in chains, and I will escape, better not wait up, cause I might be late" tells the tale of his inability to remain faithful to any woman throughout his entire life.
@Okemo I agree with the general meaning of the song, for me though the entire message of the song is just that making love disappear is no trick, it just happens. I don't think of "Put me in chains, and I will escape, better not wait up, cause I might be late" as the same kind of metaphor you do with the chains, just a reinforcement of the fact that he's no magician.

LOVE this song and especially that line.
