Everyone's right, but I think Doughty's heroin period was largely after he wrote the songs for Ruby Vroom, so it could be someone else - which makes sense because a lot of its second person. But that's contradicted by "scratch myself raw", which is definitely smackhead behavior with a reflexive pronoun. And "I am the state", which makes Doughty Louis XIV the Sun King - or just very high. . Rub a dub is both an opioid person's traditional aversion to bathing and a reference to trying to stay clean. The one thing I can't fit in is yellow # 5, and I don't think its there for any reason other than to be dangerous, artificial color that sounds good when he repeats it.
