Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: What does the song mean?

i think the song is about a stripper. im not jokin either im being serious.

alot of times when i write my lyrics they come out in a strange cryptic messeges and sound like one thing but are about something completly opposite of what it says. perhaps like a sarcastic tone. also quite often i find myself refering to things that are 'dirty' or 'ugly' in ways that mask what they truely are.

for example the moving temple. in the bible it says your body is a temple. a moving temple would have to be a person that is moving and a stripper dances. he is beyond compelled to throw this dollar down and what do you put in a strippers g string? cash.

i dont know but to me it sounds like he is trippin and at a strip club around the carribean since that is when the magdalena drains.
