I like how the song turns every so often from a peaceful rhytm to a bit crazy. I didnt know what it was about but thanks to the people that explained.

I always thought this was about drugs. The first two verse bit and then the rest of the song. When he starts singing "Legs eleven..." I thought from then on it referred to all the shit he's gotten into since he started using. "Hang on to your IQ, to your ID" is almost like a warning to not get involved in this world and if you do to keep your ID because the author himself has lost it and now is pretty much numb to many things.

Well, this song is obviously about sex. Too much sex, too be exact. Hang on to your IQ would refer to not letting one's "naughty bits" lead one's brain instead of the other way around.
