This song is about Sting's drug abuse during this time in his life. He was abusing pain pills as The Polics suddenly found themselves touring endlessly. Walking on the Moon is also about being high on pills. "If I had wings I'd leave the ground" . Sting was a tortured and depressed person before he finally quit all substance abuse later on during The Police's run.
