It's about dying prematurely b/c of heroin addiction. I'm still like Richard, I always see some giant devilish tank chasing down someone in the desert as they run for their life, but if you look at the lyrics it's about heroin. Tracks (needle marks), your engine slows down, and 50 years to early (i.e you're in your 20's) you die either from cumulative use or an OD, and now you're underground, dead and buried.
