Ellis Dee Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Dawbs89 

Cover art for Ellis Dee lyrics by Jimmy Buffett

While having an obvious meaning, I think it is also symbolic of drugs. Ellis Dee sounds like LSD and the whole song is about how he\'s not free. Somebody who is addicted to LSD is a slave to the addiction, as Ellis is shown as a slave to society.

@Dawbs89, I don’t mean to be rude, but LSD isn’t heroine. People do not become slaves to hallucinogens.

@Dawbs89 I think he was probably talking about both issues in this song. He was very aware of the many social issues we face..
