Enter the matrix:
First of all it is not about drugs at all. It is about the world beyond what we see, the metaphysical realm if you will. The "house that you pass by" is simply the realm of God or creator (depending on your beliefs). When Rocky Erickson says to "slip inside this house as you pass by," he means to connect with your Lord. But on a deeper level it also means to not be afraid to explore beyond the living. The house is simply heaven, the lord is always with us everyday but we take it for granted. By ignoring the lord, we are passing by "this house by", instead of passing it by we should "slip inside", meaning to take time out to have communion with the lord every once in a while.
Read the lyrics, there is a lot of historical and philosophical references.
For instance:
"Bedoin tribes ascending from the egg into the flower", refers the creation of life in the middle east. We believe the garden of eden was in the middle east and many religions originated from these tribes.
"everydays another dawning" = today is the first day of the rest of your life
"Twice born gypsies care and keep
The nowhere of their former home
They slip inside this house as they pass by", catch my drift?
