The song seems like a follow up to "when your number isn't up": this man is in a small hotel or motel room wasting in bed, doing drugs feeling sorry for him self. He has an imaginary conversation with his lover, telling her what he sees through the window,- the flowers as symbol of the fallen grace and the lost romance-, then he states that he has to do drugs, to beare reality (the reality of their break up "a brocken valentine"), the western ambient of the song makes the shooting reference a sort of fill up to describe the character and his indifference. Then we've got the description of being stoned (the mind that streatches). When he comes back to himself and thinks of his loved one as the thing that coursed him and at the same time, his only possible saviour (she is "fire and fire escape".
