Now her paints are dry,and I looked outsideat the corner boys. Yea, hey oh, where did you go?I don't know.I went to see your pictures,I spread them across the floor.So this is where they are shown.They're probably saying to you"If you keep it you'll be born".But you won't ever listen,I'll bet.Burned out grass, scorched by the sun.The buildings remain.We will beat them all to dust, I'll bet.Pulled from the headless shell,that blinked on and off "Hotel".Now the nameless dwell.They hold your key and turn your knob, I'll bet.Will you say hello to my Ma?Will you pay a visit to her?She was an artist just as you were.I'd of introduced you to her. She would take me out on Sundays.We'd go laughing through the garbage.She repaired legs like a doctor on the kitchen chairs we sat on.She was unhappy just as you were.Unhappy just as you were.Unhappy just as you were.Unhappy just as YOU were, oh, ooooh ooooooh!

The lyrics are so haunting once you understand what Perry is talking about. So sad and full of wistfullness. His mothers death had a huge impact on him. As it would anyone. Dave's mother died as well. She was murdered by her boyfriend. No wonder they did so much heroin:(

Most of Jane's songs were written towards the beginning of their career. Three Days is another that was written well before even Nothing's Shocking came out.

To me, this song is about someone's last desperate hope. Things are degrading so rapidly that they're already lost, but the singer chooses to believe there's a chance left. I didn't know the real story behind it until I came here, but that kinda fits it as well. It's a metaphor for all you cared about crumbling away to dust.
