The whole song is about overdosing (likely on heroin) and getting picked up by the cops/ambulance and going from the hospital to jail.
At the hospital he gets a blood, urine and HIV test since HIV is common from sharing needles. Then while in jail he’s sharing smokes because that’s the best he can...
Smiling Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So call the cops
Tell 'em to come pick me up
They'll break out the cuffs
When I get there I'll act tough
Nurse can take my blood and piss
An HIV analysis
I won't sleep tonight
Fluorescent burn too bright
[Chorus]
So come on down
Bail me out
Don't act too concerned
The cops are busting all of us
Don't know who to trust
Yesterday we went too far
[Verse 2]
I hope that I can make some friends
Split some soggy Newport ends
They don't talk a lot
Now they're sleeping in my cot
I'll call my mom
Collect call that will make her cry
I'm a stupid son
I was only having fun
[Chorus]
So come on down
Bail me out
Don't act too concerned
The cops are busting all of us
Don't know who to trust
Reading the tags on the wall
[Verse 3]
I can't believe you called the cops
Can't believe they picked me up
They broke out the cuffs
But I never acted tough
[Chorus]
So come on down
Bail me out
Don't act too concerned
The cops are busting all of us
Don't know who to trust
Yesterday we went too far
