Your eyes look just like bullet holes
it must be all that crying
you haven't learned a thing at all
another helter skelter
moonlight has come and gone
the bloody writings on the wall
Chloroform girl how have you been
don't let me catch you sleeping again
you're only alive because I like you
it's been 3 years since you've seen the sunlight
but I know you're having fun
bound, gagged and chained up in my basement
You look just like a zombie
inches from dead and pretty
with purple flowers in your hair
I hear the angels crying just as the devil smiles
all the little pigs will die tonight
I hear the devil singing the most haunting melodies
I've got this overwhelming feeling of morbid ecstasy coming over me
it must be all that crying
you haven't learned a thing at all
another helter skelter
moonlight has come and gone
the bloody writings on the wall
Chloroform girl how have you been
don't let me catch you sleeping again
you're only alive because I like you
it's been 3 years since you've seen the sunlight
but I know you're having fun
bound, gagged and chained up in my basement
You look just like a zombie
inches from dead and pretty
with purple flowers in your hair
I hear the angels crying just as the devil smiles
all the little pigs will die tonight
I hear the devil singing the most haunting melodies
I've got this overwhelming feeling of morbid ecstasy coming over me

The Beatles reference makes a lot of sense, actually. Charles Manson was a fan of the song "Helter Skelter" in particular. The narrator may admire him.
I figured "all little pigs will die tonight" is a reference to bastard children being killed.
80% of women have a capture and rape fantasy. This is the embodiment of it. Theres no hidden meaning no agenda. Dude kidnapped her and chained her up. He's a serial killer and this girl was special so he kept her alive, however this is the night he's going to finally kill her (all little pigs muts die tonight)
Get your heads out of your *sses and stop pretending it doesn't or can't happen. It does it's real and for many it's a fantasy.
The singer is sort of a metaphorical devil-esque character in the girl's mind, who taunts her and the pain she is in. When he sings, "You're only alive because I like you," the girl feels as if the only reason she is still living is to be tortured by her suffering. When he sings, "Don't let me catch you sleeping again," this implies that her periods of contentment are sparse and short-lived. When the lyrics say, "but I know you're having fun," this seems to me as if the girl is a slight masochist, and might find some sort of beauty or pleasure in her pain.
Like I said earlier, this is simply the way I choose to interpret the song. There is no correct or incorrect interpretation.
In any case, this is a beautiful song.
