I love this song. I have been trying to pick it up and I really feel it is about losing someone too, but i think she might have died. Actually the lyrics do not really point to death but its more like the writer has no idea how or where but she is lost, probably kidnapped. The kidnappers left a note in her name that said, "While you were out ...." the note also had a number and he tried to call but there was no answer. The only clue is that whoever "they" are they wrote it in a perfect Spanish scrawl.
The chorus , "Back street dolls and the side door johnnies and the wide eyed boys with their bags full of money,
Back in the alley going bang to the wall
Tied to the tail of a midnight crawl.
Heaven wouldn't be so high I know
If the times gone by hadn't been so low....." makes me believe my theory more.
What do you guys think?
I might be completely off!!!
