The 'Lennon's daughter' part is in my opinion a reference to death, kinging the bucket. Lennon had two sons and was killed young before he could have a daughter, so his 'daughter', his alegoric feminine offspring, is death itself. In the 90's, this would have been instantly intuitive to someone in the music business who lived though the exceptionally shocking events related to Lennon's assassination a decade prior.
The verses surrounding the reference further emphasize this interpretation:
"sick and tired of bein' sick and tired // I used to go to bed so high and wired,"
i.e, he used to live life to the highest intensity, booze, drugs and partying, and now he's a recovering addict who must live out his depression and withdrawal symptoms;
"I think I'll buy myself some plastic water"
lamenting sarcastically on his present situation where bottled water is his only allowed "high"
"I guess I should have married Lennon's daughter, "
Maybe I was better off dead instead of going tough this
... but, I still hang on to something, I find one meaning in my life: I dream of you there are no impossible dreams.
