I respectfully disagree with the suggestin that this, and other Boingo songs, are about being addicted to methamphetamines. There is no evidence whatsoever that Danny Elfman was ever addicted to the stuff, and he never directly mentions it in any of his songs, although he's not the least bit shy about calling other illegal substances to attention (cocaine is clearl mentioned in "Ain't This The Life" and "Cool City," for example.)
I think it's a song about not wanting to go out and face the world -- and with good reason. The 5th verse ("I had a dream last night, etc") is confusing, though, and might have some significant bearing on the interpretation, if it can be interpreted.
