i agree completely with jmoods. its about escaping reality. It really has nothing to do with what type of drug it is or if it's really a drug at all...whatever it is it takes him away (to his "special island") it makes him just for a moment feel like his life isn't a bunch of crap. I think it's excellent lyrics and musical writing on billy joels part and a great great song.
