Lyric discussion by mandolinloser 

This song was written by Joey Ramone (Jeffry Hyman) when he had to go to the hospital because he spilled boiling water on himself and got some burns. (he inhaled steam to clear his sinuses) I read that somewhere, I forget where. I'm like a sponge of useless facts. :)

It's in his biography written by his brother, I know that.
