This song is about a junkie who is talking to his needle (the nurse) and how he belives that "she" is the only who understands him.

I think the song is conveying the mind's psychological battle with addiction. The verses and the chorus are each expressing two different perspectives of the mind. The chorus speaks from the perspective of someone giving in to their addiction. The verses express the seduction of the addiction and the mind's temptation to keep using the drug. The chorus expresses the mind's submission to the addiction. The satisfaction you get when you have the drug and your lack of concern for everything else. "She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys" is saying, "no one knows what I'm feeling, this is the only thing that makes me feel better."

This song is basically about drug addiction.
The nurse is a metaphor for the drug addiction.
'She's got everything I need - pharmacy keys' means that the person can see no need to do anything else with his life.

'She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys' this refers to drugs being used as a medicine, the person can see no difference between harmful drugs and simple amphetamines or painkillers.

'Say hello to the rug's topography
It holds quite a lot of interest with your face down on it. Say hello to the shrinking in your head
You can't see it but you know its there so don't neglect it.' This verse speaks in the perspective of someone witnessing the drug addiction. He's being damaged from it through passing out and sickness 'rugs topography...face down on it.' And saying that the person with the addiction cannot see any reason to realise it's doing him damage.

this song is about a man who is addicted to drugs and gets them from the nurse so he assumes she loves him because she gives him what hes looking for.

Think of it from the point of view of a man in a mental hospital. He's crazy and thinks the nurse loves him. "She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys"- trying to convince himself that she's only doing her job when she helps the other patients but she helps him because she loves him. "she's got everything I need, pharmacy keys". The perfect girl for a mentally unstable med head.
