What Am I Doing Here

saw the old lady’s china pattern drawn on the floor
a line of crazy if you asked me, but what do I know?
Did he mean he would commit suicide 
or is it something to say?

Where is his grandma anyway?
I hear a weird mumbling 
Sing-songy, and strange
She climbs out of a Vodka bottle

I watch her run to the bathroom
He is her charge, she is the one who wanted him
What am I doing here?
Who will save me later?

Oh dear. I don't really follow this, Caren. I'm thinking that climbing "out of a Vodka bottle" pretty much tells it all.
