There are a number of connotations relating to the use of LSD in this song, such as "four hours of vision exchanged for four hours of fright" which applies to an average acid high of eight hours and the mid-point when the drug turns on its user and horrific hallucinations set in. Also, obviously "while the angels stand by I get high as a kite" and the overtones of the song of a ruined life, possibly caused by a drug addiction. Just a thought.
