Oh, and the paints her eyes as black as night... I think that's figurative, everyone knows that heroin addicts get coon eyes after they've been at it for a while..

The Black Crowes – She Talks To Angels Lyrics 17 years ago
I believe Piper is pretty much on target. I think the pulling the shades down tight is more in reference to hiding her addiction, and when the pain comes might refer to shooting up, the pin-prick... the pain makes everything alright... it makes her high. When he say's "She dont know no lover, none that I've ever seen... and to her it means nothing, but to me its everything" I think he's saying she doesnt prostitute herself for drugs, and he's proud of her for it. The cross is from someone she hasn't met, not yet... when they say 'not yet' it makes it sound like soon... like the addiction will soon kill her... Fantastic song, beautiful, despite a deep dark underlying meaning, which is very apparent, it's obviously about some sort of drug addiction. Pretty sure the angels that call her by her name are drug dealers that all know her well...
