Lyrics

Had a girl and she was out of her mind

Describing a girl who was mentally unstable

Kicking her mother down

Metaphorically speaking about causing distress to her mother

Sent her away to the jevy hall in the middle of the night

Sent her away abruptly to a rehabilitation facility at night


Running away from the nazi boys, with their dogs and cars

Fleeing from oppressive or threatening individuals/groups

Drinking that bootlegged yeasty mess til we've seen the stars

Drinking illicit alcohol excessively until intoxicated


Baby, are you doing alright

Inquiring about the well-being of the girl

Tonight

Asking about her status specifically for this evening

Have you done something meaningful with your life

Questioning if she's found purpose or significance in life


Baby, are you doing alright

Reiterating concern for her well-being

Tonight

Asking about her current state for the night

Have you found any answers after all this time

Asking if she's discovered any solutions or revelations over time


Had a friend always cutting his wrist,

Depicting a friend engaged in self-harm

pulling out strains of hair

Further description of self-destructive behavior

Wearing a make up mask Norwegian black metal face

Describing a person adopting a dark, extreme persona


Playing in a Rock n' Roll band and

Participating in a rebellious music scene and causing chaos

Burning the city down

Engaging in destructive behavior by causing havoc in the city

Lived for the party time, Just hanging out, hanging around

Living solely for enjoyment without a specific purpose


Baby, are you doing alright

Checking on the well-being of the girl again

Tonight

Asking if she's found meaning or fulfillment in her life

Have you found something meaningful in your life

Questioning if she's discovered something significant


Baby, are you doing alright

Repeating concern about her condition

Tonight

Asking about her current state of achievement or purpose

Have you done something meaningful with your life

Inquiring if she's accomplished anything significant in life
