Sent away to have my
head checked
No more playing
in the sand
Frogs are leaping off
my brainstem
They don't seem
to understand
Roadside blurs against
a big bus
Face is slouched against
the glass
I am headed for
a cleansing
In a room without a bath
Didn't it seem
kind of silly
The way the doctor's
carried on so uptight
It's not bad being
so distant
I can live inside the gap
Frogs are hopping off
my brainstem
So excited to be sane
Didn't it seem
kind of silly
The way the doctor's
carried on so
Now that I've become
a monster to them
Have to keep their fear
turned on all night long
I've gone away to have
my head checked
I guess I need to have
it looked at
head checked
No more playing
in the sand
Frogs are leaping off
my brainstem
They don't seem
to understand
a big bus
Face is slouched against
the glass
I am headed for
a cleansing
In a room without a bath
kind of silly
The way the doctor's
carried on so uptight
so distant
I can live inside the gap
Frogs are hopping off
my brainstem
So excited to be sane
kind of silly
The way the doctor's
carried on so
Now that I've become
a monster to them
Have to keep their fear
turned on all night long
my head checked
I guess I need to have
it looked at

This is about being sent to treatment for drug addiction and not taking it seriously.
The significance of frogs was taken from the bible (frogs coming out of the mouth of false prophets) Jumping off the brain stem is a way of saying that all he thought was right has turned out to be false and it's making him realize he needs to have a second look only to have it remedied by more "frogs".
This seems like a song about hallucinations, and being crazy. And of course getting your head checked. Love the line "It's not bad being so distant I can live inside the gap "
This song rocks beyond measure. I love the amphibian (lower species) theme.
