Verse (with piano only)
Staring into the intersection
She thinks that she can fly and she might
Holding on in a new direction she's gonna try it tonight
The closer I get to feeling the further that I’m feelin from alright
The more I step into the sun the more I step out of the light
(drums)
Jessica's covered in a blanket on the Sunday porch
Thinking of weekends she would party in the city
She doesn’t have a flame
She prefers to burn out like a torch
If she gets no where in life at least she knows she pretty

Chorus: She said hey, now, the straw dog's out in the street

But no one ever does

if there was a straw dog out in the street.. i'd be scared.... and i would not be thinking "hey look.. there's chemicals in the clouds" and when they're calling al the police to catch them smoking pot they won't get caugh cuz they fly away.. for some reason i think that the chorus is about drugs...

I definitely agree with the two people above... I think she could very well also feel alone and like she isn't going to get anywhere, or at least that's how people see her... maybe by straw dog they mean something fake? It doesn't really fit with the song, but it's my best guess..
