"The pool's in, but the patio ain't dry" means that all of Keith's drunken junkie house guests are ignoring the pool and just lounging on the patio, not being "dry" because they're all sitting around being drunk or whatever.
"Well it seems it seems that the juice keeps foaming and I know why" means that the pool people have dropped in some weird chlorine-type additive that makes the water in the pool look spooky and bubbly (and probably green and glowing), so Keith's guests just lounge on the patio rather than jumping in.
"The car's heating, but the dealer's squealing," refers to Keith's car dealer, who couldn't sell him a car that was hot, meaning stolen. The car dealer must have been at the pool party. That must be the key to the "heat's raining, tracks is fading", meaning that the tire tracks of the disreputable car dealer's ways are becoming apparent, illuminating the road Keith is being driven down, at the drunken pool party where everyone just stays on the patio ignoring the pool, because of the dodgy green water foaming away....
"The bitch keeps bitching" (the wife about the endless "pool" party on the patio) "the snitcher keeps snitching" (to the wife about the endless "pool" party on the patio) "joint names and telephone numbers at all" (names of joints [weed] you keep phoning in to your pot dealer) "Well, she's my little rock n roll" (the "she's" being the weed that keeps the "pool" party on the patio going....)
"She got a shark-end shoulder, she's my little rock n roll".... That's the one part of the song I don't get, and I always picture that he's describing Patty for some reason, but why does he describe her shoulders as shark-like?
"Shark, shark, shark, oh my, my, my"....
Ah well, the lyrics continue to mystify me, one of Keith's most beguiling songs.

It's about the construction of a new backyard. The pool has been installed and the concrete of the patio has just been set.

But then again, musical lyrics need not have a purpose or agenda.
Correct, I'd never call an ice cream shop questioning the She's So Cold lyrics...
Some though, make me wonder.

However, in the SSC lyric, "she's so cold, like a ice cream cone". It is in fact the ice cream itself that is cold, like said lady, not the cone itself which is likely wafer-based and at room temperature. These mysteries may well remain unsolved in our lifetimes. Oh the torture.
