i've only heard a cover of this song by the national, but these are the only lyrics i can find so i'm going to say that in the cover by the national "these cars collide" sounds like "these cost a lot" and i thought it had to do with cross dressing or something because of the other reference in the song about the guy in the dress LOL
It would certainly fit in with an interpretation on the "Psychedelic Furs, The" page for this song--according to that one, some guys drugged, kidnapped, and raped her, then sold her clothes and such.

Though that one's a bit -too- dark for the time period, IMO...I mean, this was originally the '80s, when you could be forced to testify before Congress for writing a song about throat surgery. But given the Dresden Dolls' lyrical darkness in the regular songs, it certainly makes a lot more sense this way.
