Lyric discussion by PussycatDolls4evs 

i agree wit groovin2themusic. basically, first he buys a steak knife, then he meets a card shark, then he plans a con job, then he buys a pair of bootcut jeans. then he builds a town for dogs, then he kills someone and takes a bath in their blood, then he sees their rib cage, then he buys a soft tail motorcycle. then he plays black jack. i don't know what dope dick means. then he goes to a pawn shop and makes a quick pick. then he sees a song bird. then he gets back in line for the concert. then he gets cash back from a purchase he made previously at the pawn shop. then he buys a hard top car with the money he got. it's a logical progression of events, obvi.

@PussycatDolls4evs Could dope dick mean a bong?

@PussycatDolls4evs Could dope dick mean a bong? I remember frank ocean singing about a "glass dick" in the song crack rock

@PussycatDolls4evs Dope dick is a situation where a man can't get it up cuz he has done too many drugs. Anthony Kiedis is a recovering heroin and cocaine addict (in active addiction when this song was written) so I don't think the lyrics are as literal as you might think. I don't think it's all just a straightforward chain of events, I think they are personal metaphors or word plays that symbolize different aspects of his life during that time. I, too, am a person in long term recovery and I can relate to some of these...
