The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Her hair, her hair
Her hair is on fire
She don't want no water
Let her fucking head burn
Her Hair, her hair
Her hair is on fire
She don't want no water
Let her fucking head burn
Little Miss Couture
Was born in a thrift store
She makes 29 tops in 29 minutes
Gets tape and a shot
And then overcharges
She'll make your life a work
By simply screaming schwerk!
You might think she's crazy
But baby she's amazing
Her hair, her hair
Her hair is on fire
She don't want no water
Let her fucking head burn
Her Hair, her hair
Her hair is on fire
She don't want no water
Let her fucking head burn
Little Miss Couture
Was the best blackout hush !
She went to 29 bars in 29 minutes
Go in 34 cars
In the East village
She woke up on a roof
With just the gold on her tooth
You might think she's crazy
But baby she's amazing
Her hair, her hair
Her hair is on fire
She don't want no water
Let her fucking head burn
Her Hair, her hair
Her hair is on fire
She don't want no water
Let her fucking head burn
She changes 29 lives in 29 minutes
She changes 29 lives in 29 minutes
She changes 29 lives in 29 minutes
She changes 29 lives in 29 minutes
You might think she's crazy
But baby she's amazing
Her hair, her hair
Her hair is on fire
She don't want no water
Let her fucking head burn
Her Hair, her hair
Her hair is on fire
She don't want no water
Let her fucking head burn
Let her fucking head burn
Let her fucking head burn
Let her fucking head burn
Her hair is on fire
She don't want no water
Let her fucking head burn
Her Hair, her hair
Her hair is on fire
She don't want no water
Let her fucking head burn
