I've listened to this song hundreds of times over the past 20 years. To me it sounds like a double of himself, a counter-personality/split-personality who surfaces when drugs are consumed. It's like a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, with Mr. Hyde as "the creep" he let's in (i.e. the creep who takes over upon consumption of a drug).The song is written by the clear-minded Dr. Jekyll, however perhaps he's consumed so many drugs and spent so much time as Mr. Hyde that the hallucinogenic images have infused Dr. Jekyll's speech and destroyed his logic. At any rate, this song is Dr. Jekyll just about to consume that familiar drug and take that trip (as Mr. Hyde) which he knows so well. It's a self-awareness of the confrontation (with the creep, himself) that he's about to subject himself to.
