Little Girl Lyrics
A trick that people use to make you think they are smart
Is confidence when actually they're lost in the dark
Only someone with the mind of a child says he'll grow up
Cause headin' down the avalance your life will show up
It's nice to be a victim of what happened too late
I wanna share my food, but you have stolen my plate
Hey now, hey now, go your way now
You tortured little girl
Showing them what love is all about
Where did all the time go?
Everywhere it's gone, gone, gone
You get the point now
You pick your self up off the bar, she's on his arm now
Coz they remind you of the pictures on the wall now
But she was young and I wasn't not even born yet
If you think I know a little more then
the average person on the streets, you aren't correct
Because I'm ignorant as shit, not here to preach man
You know I just wanna have fun, go to the beach man
That's all I am, I'm just a simple guy who talks when
you put a microphone in front of him
You twisted little girl
Showing them what life is all about
Where did all the time go?
Everywhere it's gone
Running laps in a relationship
Going in circles and i just can't wait
Running laps so we can get in shape
Get in shape because we can't escape
Running laps because I'm already late
Really not, I'm in the exact same place
Running laps in your relationship
Running away from the shadows themselves
The world's always amazed at how much cash you made
But not at how you made it, it's just strange
It sounded kinda cool over the phone
It killed your neighbours and their dog and crushed their bones
You tortured little girl
Showing them what laughter's all about
Where did all the wine go?
Every night it's gone
You got it all worked out
Funny little girl
Showing them what pain is all about
Where did all the time go?
Every night it's gone, gone, gone
You're the coolest girl in this whole town
I just wanna parade you around
[sound blurs out]
Is confidence when actually they're lost in the dark
Only someone with the mind of a child says he'll grow up
Cause headin' down the avalance your life will show up
I wanna share my food, but you have stolen my plate
Hey now, hey now, go your way now
Showing them what love is all about
Where did all the time go?
Everywhere it's gone, gone, gone
You pick your self up off the bar, she's on his arm now
Coz they remind you of the pictures on the wall now
But she was young and I wasn't not even born yet
If you think I know a little more then
the average person on the streets, you aren't correct
Because I'm ignorant as shit, not here to preach man
You know I just wanna have fun, go to the beach man
That's all I am, I'm just a simple guy who talks when
you put a microphone in front of him
Showing them what life is all about
Where did all the time go?
Everywhere it's gone
Going in circles and i just can't wait
Running laps so we can get in shape
Get in shape because we can't escape
Running laps because I'm already late
Really not, I'm in the exact same place
Running laps in your relationship
Running away from the shadows themselves
But not at how you made it, it's just strange
It sounded kinda cool over the phone
It killed your neighbours and their dog and crushed their bones
Showing them what laughter's all about
Where did all the wine go?
Every night it's gone
Funny little girl
Showing them what pain is all about
Where did all the time go?
Every night it's gone, gone, gone
I just wanna parade you around

On the lines where it fades out, I'm pretty sure it says:
Put your perfect forehead on my plate We could leave this town without a trace.
@tenfortyonepm I think you're right. No matter how much I want to hear him say something other than "plate" for a second time, that's what I hear too. Thanks for that, it was driving me mad that I couldn't figure out the last word

Man, this song is all over the place. A lot of characters in the song. I think based on "But she was young and I wasn't not even born yet", the "little girl" Jules is talking about is his mother. Maybe?
corrections:
It's nice to be a LOVED, IT CAN NEVER happened too late... You pick your self up off the BAR, SHE'S on his arm now... If you think I know a little more then THE AVERAGE person on the streets...
Those lyrics along with Julian's voice are amazing. This is one of my new favorites.

fucking awesomeeeeeee
I have a proposed alteration:
It kills your neighbors AND IT DOESN'T CRUSH THEIR BONES.
That's what I heard, anyway.
If that lyric is correct, then it would be a reference to Jesus' crucifixion. While it was customary to break the crucified person's limbs to speed up death, Jesus' bones remained unbroken because He had died before it became necessary.
I think I figured it out, took some research. His parents were divorced when he was like 12. he is in fact talking about his mother, who way probobly an alchohaulic (where did all the wine go. And pick yourself up from the bar now). he is singing the song to both her, and us. this is why he switches from calling her "you" and "she" which makes it complicated. He seems to believe that her marriage was a mistake because she wasn't prepared given her problems. "The avalanche" is the crisis that is waiting to happen, which is when...

He believes his mother never took responsibility for the avalanche. This is where his plate gets stolen, because her life crisis fell on him. She is tortured, and showing them (himself and his siblings) what love is all about, when she cannot. Once the divorce happens, he claims that nostalgia and sobering up, begin to happen, but her nostalgia, which leave him (Linkous) out of the picture because he wasn't born, prompt her to behave like a little girl again. it's an waful cycle which makes her internal life mess become Linkouses problem too.

Hey, I over analyzed that a little bit- Realized that Julian Casablanca also had divorced parents, and mother remarried, this could be his story. Any help at solving this?
I don't think he sings "THE SEVEN AND the avalanche your life will show up." The first word is definitely "'CAUSE" What I hear is, "CUZ SOME WHERE DOWN the avalanche your life will show up." Or, "CUZ SLOPING DOWN the avalanche your life will show up." "Cuz" and "Down" are definitely in that sentence, I'm just not sure what's in between them. It could even be "seven": "Cuz SEVEN down the avalanche your life will show up." Or "staring": "Cuz STARING down the avalanche your life will show up." Anyone else figure it out?
