Laid Lyrics

I don't really think that the song is about a transvestite. I always thought the cross-dressing lines of this songs were just an example of doing nutty things. There are plenty of normal people who have dabbled in cross-dressing at some point. Those lines are in a verse where he talks about playing with knives and slamming someone's fingers in a door. I always thought the song was about a relationship with a nymphomaniac also, and the relationship is ruining him (thus the "therapist" and "driving me crazy" stuff).

lol yeah I 100% agree with you, my ex was a nymphomaniac with me, no matter how many times I tried to end our relationship she just kept coming...pun intended. We did crazy shit like in this song all the time, it was fantastic. But like James, it was ruining me. :(

@stoolhardy When he sings the song live, he uses drawer, not door. Makes more sense with the till reference.

@stoolhardy I also do think it's about a transvestite at all - not in the least. I think it's about a crazy insane relationship. I really don't think it's about a nymphomaniac either, at least not the main point. I think it's about just one of those absolutely crazy relationships. If you've ever been in one you'll relate to this song perfectly.
