Here's a more indepth interpretitation, for anyone who would like it...but it's pretty easy really.

"My head, it hurts Each day it's getting worse"

--She's really screwed up, and she knows it, and the more she goes over it in her mind, the more screwed up her head gets, and every day, with all the shit she goes through, it just gets worse, and worse, and worse.--

"My looks and smile Have now become my curse Tight lips, red skirt.."

--most people would love to be beautiful, but she probably wishes she was an ugly bint, because the way she looks is what makes dirty old men want to abuse her--

"Big car, little man My lover for a fee"

--is saying that all these guys who think they're hard with all their bling and their big pimpmobiles are really just little, insecure runts inside--

"So if you see me will you just drive on by? Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye? And if you want me then I guess I want you Oh pretty baby how could you?"

--it's just describing how she's standing there, presenting herself, waiting for an offer, and all the time she's weeping inside--

"Standing in the rain Milk carton mugshot baby Missing since 1983"

--In some places, they put photos of missing people on the sides of milk cartons, so obviously this is about the photo of her, reminding us she is lost and homeless--

"Standing in the rain 20 years of dirty needles Raindrops runnin' through my veins"

--this is where it tells us she's a heroin adicct--

I could go on and explain the rest, but I can't be bothered and it's really easy to understand anyway. One line I like is:

"No sun, my room Has now become my herse"

--where for most people their room is a safe, private place, this is where she is horribly exploited by strange men every night--
