I think this song is about a man who is very conscious of his limits: he does drugs and is wreck, but he also "wants the gal" (if you know what I mean). He is also wanted by the girl, who is clearly attracted to him. So in approaching her he forsees what their relationship might be: he detoxing or going into withdrowal, "when I shake like I'm dyng"- note the "when" it implies that that event is going to happe, surely. Making her miserable and making her ashamed. The grave reference is a bitter irony: he wants to imply that he is going to die before her. So basiclly he tells her: "cut the crap and sleep with me, makes much more sense, since we like each other".
