I always heard this one as "leopard in the snow", not leper, and thought of it as kind a romantic song (well, in Smog's range of romance, anyways).

I think there's a sort of unexpected empathy at the end there where he realizes that she had been a virgin too, and the line "the next day she never called me again" indicates that the narrator is kind of heartbroken by that.

I heard it that way too.
