It's for his brother who committed suicide after visiting a mental hospital. If I am wrong on that info please feel free to share. None the less the brilliance of Bowie's lyrics are how universal they can be. This song it meant to be interpreted however a person wants it to be.
Well, it can't be about the suicide, because that happened in '85 and this was released in '80. But as a general song about a mental hospital....possibly.
