I've always thought this was about a guy sitting next to a girl watching a movie/television, trying to get his girl to fool around, but she is too enthralled by the detective story succumb to his advances. Apparently it's something that happens a lot. I love the line "filing her nails while they are dragging the lake" - the deprived lover on the couch finds the contrast of vanity/grooming against the darkness of searching for a body appalling. |
