Hmm, I didn't interpret it that way at all. To me the track seems designed
to induce paranoia in the kids in the club. They're there hiding in the
dark corners doing their naughty little balloons, or joints or whatever,
and then there's this scarey voice coming over the PA, implying that
everyone knows what they're up to, and that they're probably on film right
NOW! Its not a happy song about getting high, its a scarey song about
doing drugs in dirty corners of seedy nightclubs. 

Anyhow - its a great track - very dark, low end throbbing, if you think
all house music is fluffy and light weight, then you should check some
Green Velvet.
