This song is about drugs alright, but not for the reasons all the above comments claim.
This song describes getting busted by the police. In her case, sounds like it's her first time. She knew it was coming sooner or later, but it's not the way she imaged.
The speed's working, I see it = yeah, speed tends to really hit another level as soon as you see the cop lights flashing. It's also distracts you, which is probably why they've been caught.
Under light bulb sun = again, anyone who's been busted, knows exactly what this lyric is describing. That annoying light they shine is as bright as the sun and anyone within ten feet, can see who they're shining it on..you! And your eyes feel like they're actually melting into your head.
The jailer in my mind are all dead = the way you imagine how police act in your head is a lot different from reality. They are cunning, and many times they try to trick you into admitting to more wrongdoing than what they discover.
All of our secrets are coming undone = telling the cops jack squat. Secrets undone, as in safe and sound. Or he's implementing himself to make her charges less serious.
What a beautiful state we're in = you look pathetic and feel pathetic too. *Double meaning here...could also mean state trooper car.
Taking speed makes you stay up all night. Sometimes the mornings aren't great. In this case, the morning has been really bad.
