Billy is a mental patient, in a mental institution. The song takes a very child-like approach to the character's situation. It starts out very innocent and as the song progresses you begin to see hints of Billy's real character and the irony of what she's saying in relation to where she is. It's sort of like a window to what goes on inside a mental patient's head (not a generalization though).
