David Bowie – Young Americans Lyrics 12 years ago
I think you've captured the soul of the song in your summation. Someone above mentioned the song refers to drugs, but I think it's alcohol due to the "bottles on the floor". You could take that a step further and say he was scrambling for recycling money, but this came out before recycling centers.

What I'd like to know are what are "Afro-Sheilas", is that a derogatory racist term or just one I'm not familiar with. Why would you blush at them on the bus of survivors? Is it because the mustang got reppo'd?
