Lil' Jewish princess, never recognized
Replaced the star of David for the ones in your eyes
So you popped a Vicodin and ran away from everyone
And everything you thought you knew

Hangin' by the pool with the leisure dudes
Who never have a job but they got the attitude
And the clothes, and the shoes and a disease or two
And every head turns on cue

When she flies
Like a ballerina babe strung so high
Everybody have you seen her?
But the side that no one knows
She shows on video
She's a San Fernando sexx star and she's fine

Telephone screamin' on the bathroom floor
Momma tryin' to call ya since July forth
Erase the message along with the life
Of everything ya knew before

Life is pretty good with your wood grain walls
Lime green carpet with your meth lab stall
Mattress full of money and five locks on the door
As she falls to the floor

From trying to fly
Like a ballerina babe strung so high
Everybody have you seen her?
But the side that no one knows
She screams on video
She's a San Fernando sexx star and she's fine

East coast transplant now in California
Can ya feel the side effects of finally leaving Georgia?
Nothin' you can do about it, daddy tried to warn ya

Allowance cut off, blue jean cut offs
Feeling like a, cut out paper whore

When she flies
Like a ballerina babe strung up so high
Everybody have you seen her?
But the side that no one knows
She screams on video
She's a San Fernando sexx star

Where are you? Where are you?
Where are you? Where are you?
Where are you? Where are you?
Where are you? Where are you?

San Fernando sexx star, San Fernando sexx star
San Fernando sexx star, San Fernando sexx star

    It's about a girl that flew across the country trying to be someone she's not and him knowing her other side.

    This song is about Butch Walker going to California with his band (byte the bullet/southgang) and doing the whole rock star thing. While he's there him and the band have a rather large porn collection and while browsing through the videos they recognize a familar face. Butch realizes that he actually went to highschool with this girl and now shes a porn star. So yea... it's about her.

    if you've heard the justified and stipped cd he said that he found out the girl overdosed and died :( he does an amazing version of this song on that cd.

    Yeah, the porn star was somebody he once knew from back then. And she overdosed and died....I agree Justified and Stripped is money!

    It's a good song. I think the meaning and what happened is pretty clear. I didn't know it was based on someone he actually knew though. Kind of like... a really dark version of "Centerfold."
