I think this song is darkly humorous. It sounds like a person out of their minds on drink or drugs (or both) deciding to give up drink/drugs and declaring how their life will at long last be problem free from then on. You get the feeling that they're deluding themselves and that their substance abuse is as much a symptom as a cause of the problems in their life. If they do sober up the reality will set in and they'll want to get loaded again so that they can escape back to the reasuring delusion that they're one move away from being happy ever after. Like others have said, the song is ironic. It is a heavily drug induced mind's idea of what it might be like being sober. Their Children dancing around them like gypsies?! If they WERE just drinking water they wouldn't be talking like this.
