To me I interpret this song to be about the Wizard of Oz. Oingo had written songs about movies/books in the past (No Spill Blood based on Island of Dr Moreau - H.G Wells. And Wake Up (It's 1984) being about 1984 - George Orwell) so it wouldn't be unusual to have a song based off The Wizard of Oz.
The reason why the thought of this song being about Oz is because the final chapter The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is called Home Again. Then that got me thinking about the lyrics of this song.
"Where is she going - Looks like she's lost." She being Dorothy when she first lands in Oz, realising she isn't in Kansas anymore. "Where are you going? To see a crazy old man. What will he tell you? He'll tell me where i'm going." The 'crazy old man' being the wizard and Dorothy thinking that he'll tell her how to get home. There's other lyrics I could relate to the Wizard of Oz, but that's just how this song appears to me.
