the very first line completely obliterates the possibility of the drag queen theory. "she doesn't own a dress." have any of you EVER heard of a drag queen that didn't own a dress? they own more than women just to compensate for the lump of skin between their legs.
and how does wearing high heels when you exercise make you a stripper? i think that represents a woman who is so concerned with making sure that she always looks her best, that she dresses up when most people are in sweats and sneakers.
every reference to this woman seems to imply that she is just too big and too much for the box life has her trapped in. she is capable of so much more than life has offered her, yet she makes the most of what she gets.
every time i hear this song, i think of my mom. she gets so frustrated with life but loves who is in her life enough to stay put. she's got this fire and you'd think she would bolt if given half the chance, but she's got a lot of loyalty to those who love her as well. i can totally see her working out in heels and makeup even. she loves surprises, but hates the suspense. loves babies.
she wants to be omnipotent: to own the world and rule all who live in it. but then again, who wants that kind of stress? she realizes this every once in a while, and she wants nothing to do with being queen of the world. she's on her way to better things.
but i think he is singing about a woman he's never met, but definately wants to. a woman with those simple, yet so hard to come by, oddities.
the name "virginia" means pure, which can the opposite of jaded. the girl he is looking for is definately not pure, she is leaning more toward jaded which could just be a play on words with the name. irony, if you will.
um...
