...i thought i read once that this song was about one of the band's friends who died in a car crash (and not the girls in napolean solo)...but then again, i could be wrong, or the source (which i don't remember) could have been wrong...

He mentions Jaurez, but the deaths in Jaurez were rape related, and it was women that died. Cedric refers to the person as "he". I don't think it's connected to the Invalid Litter Dept. subject. Could be wrong?

yeah, on second thought i dont think it has anything to do with them. and when he says "and sometimes i'm jealous waiting at the intersection," he's saying that he'd rather die and be with his friend, then keep on living.

i found this on songmeanings.net:
I believe the man he is talking about is the same person he talks about in The Mars Volta song "Concertina". A former member of At The Drive-in had pushed a freind of Cedrics to killing himself. I believe he jumped off a bridge maybe the Mesa Street Exit bridge. And I think Cedric being stuck at the intersection may mean that he is still alive while his freind is dead, or my other thinking is that Cedric is stuck and he can't get to his freind to stop him.
but if it was about the guy on concertina (i think his name was julio something), then i don't know why they let that Ben guy in the band in the first place, since it was apparently Ben's fault for that julio guy dying...hmmm, so this doesn't seem to answer anything

When Cedric sang for At The Drive-In, he wrote a lyric--‘Embroglio’ on 1996’s Acrobatic Tenement--about Venegas, who had killed himself while that band were rehearsing. "I didn’t feel it really did him justice," he continues, "I felt like a whole record should be dedicated to him."
...from the mars volta site...
