forgot about oranges? haha, no man, it's definitely:
"my dream girl don't exist
she's working in a mcdonald's in madison, wisconsin
she coulda been cool, but she let the system get to her
she forgot about art and just made hamburgers,"
which to me gives that version of the song a definite sarcastic twist while also painting it in a darker shade than i think this version listed above even gives.
i think the shorter version is somehow more powerful, because it's basically saying that his dreamgirl doesn't exist anymore because she threw her life away in the sense she forgot about everything she cared about for something stupid, and now she's just flipping burgers or whatever, essentially throwing away the girl he had grown to love in the first place. she's not really dead in that version, just dead to him.
...at least, that's how i interpret it, plus at the end where he's yowling like a cat or whatever, well, it's hard not to laugh at that version. it's my favorite out of the two. i like dark humor apparently. plus that version inspires me not to give up on my own interests. pits of despair can suck it. =P
