"Day after day, love turns grey
Like the skin of a dying man
Night after night, we pretend it's all right
But I have grown older and
You have grown colder and
Nothing is very much fun any more."
Pink enters his hotel room with a groupie. He's with the groupie only because, as revealed in the previous songs, Pink realized his wife is cheating on him.
Pink is no stranger to the groupie thing, and there he is with a groupie in his hotel room. It's old to him. Maybe he feels like he's mentally too old for it at this point.
These lines also represent pink's fading marriage.
Like "You have grown colder " Pink is no good for his wife and he's only hurting her and she is realizing this and beginning to move on with her life- without Pink and the emotional abuse he causes her to suffer.
"And I can feel one of my turns coming on.
I feel cold as razor blade
Tight as a tourniquet
Dry as a funeral drum,"
Uh oh.... Pink knows whats about to happen and he can't stop it.
"Run to the bedroom, in the suitcase on the left
You'll find my favorite axe
Don't look so frightened
This is just a passing phase
Just one of my bad days
Would you like call the cops?
Do you think it's time I stopped?"
Pink is flipping out at this point. In the movie, he kicks and breaks the TV screen, trashes the whole hotel room, throws a tv out the window, throws stuff at the groupie, chasing her away.
In the lines "Don't look so frightened, This is just a passing phase, Just one of my bad days" Pink is attempting to explain his actions, although this is while he's acting. He's scaring the shit out of the groupie. Pink's 'turn' is the last thing she expected to witness tonight. She just wants to "get between the sheets" with Pink.
"Would you like to watch T. V.?
Or get between the sheets?
Or contemplate the silent freeway?
Would you like something to eat?
Would you like to learn to fly?
Would you like to see me try?
Would you like call the cops?
Do you think it's time I stopped?"
...sarcasm aimed at the groupie while he's flipping out and trashing the place.
"Why are you running away?"
Pink is, well, pretty crazy at this point in the album[/movie]. Maybe he really doesn't understand why the groupie is running away even though he obviously chased her away.
This last line also has a direct meaning to Pink's marriage. Same concept though. It's obvious why pink's wife would want to leave him. He has nothing to offer her emotionally, and he may even be physically abusive. Pink's wife is definitely suffering emotional abuse from Pink. Pink might not even realize what he's doing to his wife and may not understand.
This reminds me of something I read about schema psychotherapy: we often have self-fulfilling patterns. Pink might have one that drove her wife away and now has him both trying to compensate with a new girl and losing her at the same time.

And with each of these and other events a brick is added to the wall. Now even higher, it enforces a vicious cycle.

HE'S FUCKING CRAZY.
LOL at your last line, but great interpretation besides.
