gparkla what I think you miss is the transition from the leper imagery to himself as singer / songwriter / performer. But before I get ahead of myself, I agree totally with what you are saying. Just not in the same terms. My point: "you must love a masochist" is in reference to all of us (including the writer / singer / performer AND LISTENER). For example,
"Well I'm lying on the ground now
Walking through the only door
Well I have lost my eye sight
Like I said I would
But I still know
And that is you in front of me"
ends with
"Doesn't that make us the perfect pair
Just you and me
We'll start again
And you can tell me all about what you did today
What you did today."
