Candy-O Lyrics

This is one of my favorite Cars songs. It's such a great combination of weird and rocking, with the aggressive synth and Elliot's guitar carrying us through. The oblique lyrics keep me interested and curious. "Homogenize... Decentralize..."--what does that mean in this context, if anything? And what is the context, anyway? Could be drugs but given the album is called Candy-O and has the famous Vargas drawing of the girl on the car, I'd say it's about a woman.
