I think that this song is about the singer's obsession with a mentally retarded or brain-injured girl in a wheelchair because her legs don't work.
Think about it: "when she walks, she swings her arms, instead of her hips". An obvious reference to the use of a wheelchair When she walks, she doesn't use her legs at all; she uses her arms.
And then, "When she talks she moves her mouth, instead of her lips." A speech handicap, stemming either from mental retardation or brain injury, either of which could account for her restriction to a wheelchair.
And then, of course, there is the line "when she sees, she sees the stars inside of her room". This could be either a reference to blindness, or to the psychiatric medicines that cause her to get a little loopy.
The thing, though, is that she's a little weirded out about it. He tries to grab her, but "'Let me go', she said" repeatedly.
There is such a sick desperation in the song towards this girl; he's moving too fast, and she thinks that his attraction is because of her handicap. Which it may be
If she's mentally and physically retarded, how do you expect her to even know where the fuck she is? Not to mention any girl that has that many faults isn't going to be turning away men, she's going to take what she can get. That is, of course, if she's not a damned vegetable.
