I don't know who you are
But you seem very nice
So will you talk to me
Shall I tell you a story
Shall I tell you a dream
They think I'm crazy
But they don't know that I like it here
It's nice in here, I get everything for free
Have you been here before
Shall I show you around
It's very pretty
Have you come here to stay
Well, you sure picked a day
My name is Billy
It's my birthday, you're invited to my party down the hall
Where I go, what I'll become or who I am or what I'll be
I'll never know, but I am sure that I'll get everything for free
I'm not troubled or sad
I'm just ready for bed
It's been a long day
Before they switch off the lights
It truly was a delight
They think I'm crazy
But they don't know that I like it here
It's nice in here
Where I go, what I'll become or who I am or what I'll be
I'll never know, but I am sure that I'll get everything for free
Where I go, what I'll become or who I am or what I'll be
I'll never know, but I am sure that I'll get everything for free
Everything for free
I don't know who you are
But you seem very nice
So will you talk to me
Have you been here before
Well, you sure picked a day
They think I'm crazy...

vocal I'm not sure...It's sounds like she's in lunatic asylum....It's pretty bothering me that I don't understand about what she's talkin about....

vocal The speaker is a girl (I guess, since the singer is) who lives in a mental institution. She "talks" to a new person who comes into the asylum and tells him that she's not really insane - she just likes to live there because she gets "everything for free".
That's the plot of the song, you can read into it in any way you want, I guess everything is pretty open to interpretation when it comes to the deeper meaning.
