Trevor is alluding to the ever-imposing end of time. It’s as if he is serenading an energy inefficient incandescent light bulb.
It’s out there plain and simple: we sit around, for the most part, and fuck with all of our different addictions and make ourselves slaves to international corporate entities and banks, happy as shit because we don’t realize, or even care, that the world is ending.

added verse from the 1/20/05 Cafe du Nord show:

The Bella Donna keeps me guessin’
While the kids are out caressin’
At the bridge on top and under
Eatin’ the wheat that makes them s-s-s-studder

Oh incandescent devil
last chance gas station…

The first time Warren Haynes sat in with TLG, they played Incadescent Devil with Warren on slide guitar.

Quite surprising that this song was not on Taught To Be Proud, since it became a summer anthem before the album about the same time as the title-track. I heard there is an out-take of Incandescent Devil recorded for T2BP.

Incandescent Devil's "A bucket of blood is filling up my gas-tank" reminds me of Gasaholic ("gasoline drips from your faucet"), as well as I've Been Seeking ("building up their empires made from blood and bone and fire"). It even calls to mind the early version of the words to Deep River. In this respect Incadescent Devil seems to have environmentalist and humanist/justice connotations. Just one of many meanings you might hear in this song.
