Im surprised nobody else has done this one, its one of my favorite songs, but I can't quite figure it out.

well at first I used to think this song was about seeing through the eyes of a terrorist. (the whole suicidal reference/ "OH HELL YES! IM A NERVOUS WREAK!"- I thought it was his mental state before doing a suicide mission/ then "well never get through customs"- I was thinking airport n him trying to get out of doing it/ then I thought the whole "father, son n holy ghost" thing was him prayin before)

But then later I learned ALL of the lyrics n my interpretation didn't make no sense. Soooo, I'm hoping someone else can come up wit something!

'The P.A. System keeps my heart heart beating tonight'
means that he lives for the show, that hearing the band's name on the overhead speaker is the thing that's keeping him alive

'Oh hell yes
I'm a nervous wreck
Oh hell yes
The drugs just make me reset'

he is going through an episode (related to fame, I suppose)and is nervous or feeling bad or disappointed for himself. So, he iz self medicating himself (perscription or the illegal stuff)and the drugs make him feel good for a little while, but then he 'resets' into the depressed mood

'Knock once for the father
Twice for the son
Three times for the holy ghost'
might mean he has found religion, and is seeking god for answers, or simply he has a multiple personality disorder?

theese may be totally wrong, but, hey, no one can really pinpoint what fall out boy's lyrics really mean, any way
