Is it just my dirty mind playing tricks on me, or is this a song about a 14 year-old groupie? Her nickname is Superlungs. Is that a reference to her breasts? And what about, "Her breathing is real good . . . they would if they could"? Could these be sexual references? Breathing, lungs . . . is this meant to suggest blowjobs?
Then again, Donovan was the ultimate flower child. Maybe he is just talking about a young fan, a cool kid who likes to draw, and likes to breathe with her great lungs. Pretty weird, tho! I think I recall hearing somewhere that he was attracted to young girls.
