Been digging this song so much recently, wondered what you people thought it was about:

Pains in the window
Trouble down in the heart
The resin white ceiling
Blood, dripping, flows
Out on the front line
Preachers sweep the earth
Out on their backsides
With nothing in common, with no problem

She's just a girl...
Just...just a girl, yeah...
Just one time around
She has little chance to make good
Distance of her lie
They're silent in their words

Burning fires
See the red, true beliefs
This maid in progress
Betrayin' your mother's need for a shelter

Oh, just a girl...
Just...just a girl
Just one time around
She had little chance to make good
Treats them now, she's young
But it can be taken away
Just one time around...can be taken away
We all make mistakes

Hush my baby...don't you cry...
You're my little alibi
Oh baby, please...I need some sleep
Hmm, now be taken
You with me

Just a girl (5x)
Just a kid, yeah...

    I've never been able to pinpoint what this song is about. I remember reading a while back that some people thought it was about abortion.

    i suppose talking how naive can be a young woman can be..
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
    “..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”

    Maybe instead of abortion, it could deal with a young girl, teenager maybe, having a baby against. This goes against her religion and her parents.
