They can think that all they like. To me, it’s about a guy who dies after falling asleep at the wheel and he’s in purgatory.
I’m with Cameron, but instead of purgatory, I believe the character is in hell.
I just listened to this song not five minutes ago. Now I’ll have to listen again.
(By the by: Purgatory, Hell, California… six of one, half dozen of the other.)
As a former California resident and someone who has spent quality time in the Mojave, I’ll agree with weyoun42.
Heroin. Which, thankfully, I managed to bypass in my wilder days.
Unless I’m missing the joke, in which case “Oh yeah, definitely vampires.”
