I think this song is about the same event, seen by three different points of view.
The first would be the most realistic, the most unbiased.
It says 'obvious' things like:
And danced and laughed like he was listening to music (people dance and laugh while listening to music)
And stumbled in sky like he was a drunk man (drunk people stumble)
And floated in the air like he was a bird (birds float)
The second point of view would be the one of a judging middle class society, that condemns his every action.
He kissed his woman like she was the only one (he's unfaithful because he's a jerk)
And crossed the street with his drunk pace (he's always drunk, even at work)
Climbed up the construction like it was solid (but he pretends not to be to keep his job)
And sat to rest like he was a prince (Does he think he's a prince? That he can just stop and rest?)
And ate beans with rice like it was the best (even his food is bad, but he pretends it's awesome)
Drank and hic-cupped like he was a machine (he drinks a lot)
And died in the wrong way disturbing the public. (whatever he's dead, the problem here is that his death is disturbing the 'nice people')
Now the third point of view, I can't really figure out if it's his own or another external entity's.
