This is a song about a woman named Lucy who is obsessed with exercise. By the end of the song it is assumed that Lucy’s body finally gives up from over exertion and she passes away.

"I'll show you around the gym"
"Everyone's beautiful and thin"
"And here there's no sin
And your life can begin
Lucy at the gym"
