Boy was I off on my thinking on this one. Actually I'm starting to worry about myself because I seem to have a difference of opinion quite frequently - joining this list kind of pointed that out to me. I'm not sure if that's good or bad...

This is the song that if I had the option to leave off the CD, I probably would. I skip it often. Someone else said Rick's voice sounds strained throughout this whole album, and I agree that it is very apparent on this song. The beginning music however, sounds like a cross between Duran Duran's
"All she wants is" and "Notorious". Now that I've let the Duran Duran skeleton out of my closet, I really don't think there's much more you guys don't know about me :-) Anyway, back to the Duran2 rip-off. Once I get past the Sam Kinison voice (that's what the beginning reminds me of - which is also so Duran-ish) the music makes me yearn to dig out some of those Duran CD's....

Ok, enough Duran talk, this IS a Rick list for chrissakes. I had always interpreted the word pyschoactive as someone who was outwardly crazy. Psycho - active....anyone else see that? The thing with the psychoactive person in this song is that she's so crazy, she's hypersexual. You know, wanting more sex than the typical woman. Rick does not see a problem with that, however I'd be a little worried about meeting up with a sex-crazy woman if I was Rick at any time in his career. :-) Rick even questions throughout the song that he's not sure if he's crazy or if she is, but he obviously is going to go along with the ride. (I think there's an intended pun there)

I'm really having a hard time figuring out why this one is on the CD. The song that is known to have come from these sessions, Love Receiver was left off. Why was this one considered better than that one? If the group was going with a kicky-dance sounding type of song, they kind of lose it at the end and I find that even at the beginning it's hard to even keep your toe tapping to it. 

This one goes Pfffft! in my book.  - Michelle P.

This song would be so much better for me if it wasn't for the opening line. It just sounds so evil. Maybe if that was Rick's voice saying "satisfy the flesh" (or is it?), it'd be different, but I know for the longest time the song would start off and I'd just skip it because of the opening. Kind of reminds me in a way of State of the Heart and that evil voice with the "who's there?". 
So getting past that first line, I really do like this song. I think there is some really great rhyme scheme going on, and I'm a total sucker for that. I really like the thought of the girl being like a drug, an addictive drug that triggers halucination/fantasies to the point where he doesn't know what's real and what's in his mind.
I can so identify with the feeling of your "sane" self arguing with your "insane" self and my insane self is always winning.
The line that stands out for me is :
Hey little sister
