Seems to simply be about a girls he has met on tour; the groupies. He is speaking directly to them saying "we both know this won't last long. " Yet still being captivated by love (sex). Probably happened often on tour so he would label himself a "liar" because if they all keep score of the poon they got, it would be there secret. "we're all choir boys at best." <----the lie. Intrusive and arrogant to further support this. Lord of the flies is a good theory, and he may have thrown a bit of insight to his influences. But lets be honest, what is more likely. A song about someones' literature or an actual feeling of guilt and honesty penned on paper.
