I guess I'll take the first stab at this one. Most of the song is obvious except for the last few lines. I bet I'd listened to it 40 times or more before it popped into my mind that she committed suicide after she got to LA and didn't "make it" in the big city.
"The storefronts are all filled up with eyeballs
As the policemen clear out the street
For a line of cars with their headlights burning
Driving slow through Pulaski, Tennessee"............in plain english, her funeral procession rolling through a small town with everyone watching
I was thinking the same thing. She kills herself in the end, another victim of the way LA chews up and spits out dreams every single day. The song is actually eerily similar to the plot line from the movie Mulholland Drive.
