mary jane's last dance

Godsend of a song by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers that super-personifies "the last toke".
excerpt & interpretation from mary jane's last dance:

SHE MOVED DOWN HERE,
AT THE AGE OF 18,
SHE BLEW THEM BOYS AWAY,
WAS MORE THAN THEY'D SEEN.

the indiana boys' first toke

I WAS INTRODUCED AND WE BOTH STARTED GROOVIN'.

Tom's (?) first toke

SHE SAID I DIG YA BABY BUT I GOT TO BE MOVIN,
ON.
KEEP MOVIN' ON.

he liked it because it treated him well
eventually, though, he has to give it up:

LAST DANCE WITH MARY JANE,
ONE MORE TIME TO KILL THE PA-AIN.

come on

I FEEL SUMMER CREEPIN' IN,
AND I'M,
TIRED OF THIS TOWN AGA-AIN.

kind of confusing personification. here's my guess:
"summer"=best time of the year; most comfortable weather
therefore "summer" is the euphoric high, slowing "creeping" into his system
"town"=could be a lot of things:
1) the boring indiana town, whose boredom he escapes through smoking, however, more likely:
2) the "down" state; not being high (could be an anagram?)

that should get you guys started. this is taking forever and i have class. figure the rest out on your own.

muffin dance

A term that means that you're pro-domestic violence. In the early 1900s when women asked "can we vote too?" they were asked to show their clams and dance out of the voting booths as people (men) threw desserts at them.

In 1929, the great great grandson of Abraham Lincoln famously said "I cannot tell a lie. Some of these bitches clams do stink, but there's no reason to make them do a Muffin Dance. They should be allowed to vote too." Women's henceforth could vote, and EVERYONE had muffins.
"I thought this whole trip was gonna be a muffin dance."

"Surely you've heard the term muffin dance before."
