Rather than being about River Phoenix & drug overdoses as a superficial read might reveal, I think TISM are going a layer deeper here. I think they are poking fun at celebrity culture & the way people obsessively follow celebrity antics, exactly like it itself is a drug.
I think the following lines illustrate this best..
Now I'm bored and there's no stopping
I need another celeb to fill my coffin
Where will I get my next drug action?
Odds on it'll be Michael Jackson
The lines...

...are particularly telling.
That's my take anyway. YMMV.
