Great writing indeed. Another Gano coming-down-from-cocaine song. Kınd of the sequel to 'Good feeling' on the first album, which sounds similar. He's crashing, remembering the beautiful high, feeling lonely. He's also feeling the drug-ınduced urge to get the high back 'one more time'. The lines about spines shaking and 'skıppıng a lıne' (contrasting with the rope, which can be a toy or the ınstrument of death) show which drug.
The last verse is the singer considering the state of his body and mind, suffering from post-stımulant depressıon, excess (too much), and addiction (not enough). the Femmes have enough songs (esp. 'See My Ships') about drugs in general and coke specifically to support this being a post-drug song.
