this song is about living fast, but never getting anywhere as a result. the upbeat sound sounds like its from sukie's perspective. shes having fun and enjoying her young years, but its obvious in the story that she's not going to end up anywhere but the street

"She did brass rubbings, she learned you never had to press hard" -shes an underachiever, learning how to get what she wants with the least work possible

dave tells her that he can make her rich, but only gets used and never gets much from him.

the last verse concludes that her life is invested in her body, and when thats gone, she will be on the street...its a really sad song
