Highly Suspicious Lyrics

@balpo - "dot your i's" means to make sure you take care of all your loose ends, like a teacher telling her students to literally make sure they have all their letter i's dotted before they turn in their work,

The song's definitely about a drug-induced paranoid freakout and the "highly suspicious" parts are meant to be like British Constables pounding at the door, either in reality or in the person's head. I'm not the biggest fan of the song compared to the rest of their catalogue but it is different, I'll give them that.
