I get a dreamlike feeling from this song, both in the lyrics and the tone of it in general. The whole thing seems to take place in room she's sleeping and in the hallway outside that room. I got the impression she was staying in a hotel room, but I don't know what "prison girls" would be doing there or what they would represent.
Along with that, I find there to be noir-ish quality to the a whole thing, like a dark, grey-scale atmosphere. There's an air of danger to it, too: we have "gunpowder eyes" and "humming helicopters through the blades of a fan".
So, basically, I have no idea what she is talking about. I just wanted to convey my impressions to stir some discussion. My best guess is that she is referring to this whole darker side of life that she never has and probably will never experience, of "prison girls". Maybe she's haunted by this, which would explain why it's coming through in this dreamlike environment.
