This song's super-super-happy sound is brilliantly juxtaposed by its lyrics, which are in fact very crushingly depressing.
This song is about being a performer on stage, and being sick of performing for the crowd, and feeling like a 'dancing monkey' of sorts, you know?
Like, "Hey there fancy pants, entertain us! We're broken parts, we need to be fixed by you!" …But what about how the performer feels or what he/she is going through?
So sounds like Gene was really depressed and probably had a hard time being in the band at this time. He was being super snarky with this song, laying it all out, telling everyone that he is feeling like a dancing spectacle and is very lonely/hollow inside, drinking alone after the performance, etc.
