Lyric discussion by webguide 

The song is about the drug addicted Alice who is also a prostitute. "...She the thanks you turns away She needs you like she needs needs her pills To tell her that the world's okay..."

She needs you - meaning she needs you to get money for the pills. Or it could also be that she uses sex and pills to "hide" her true depressed mind.

@webguide I dated a girl like this. she was sexually, verbally and physically abused as a child and she was mentally messed up trying to process her life. She was addicted to drugs and used sex to get what she wanted. Always looking for a way to run away from things she could not process.
