or the devil in the black dress is the "naughty" voice/side of his personality and the walking-away guardian angel is the "good" voice/side of his personality; like in the classic internal dilemna over wanting something thats t bad for you whilst knowing you shouldnt...or an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other. he wants to casually f**k this person regardless of morally knowing it's "wrong" because life is short. love is always over in ther morning in this situation because whatever affection was professed to get into her knickers is now redundant.

Age of Maysa, that does seem a great analysis of the lyrics, I see the Devil in a black dress/Gaurdian Angel bit interesting as in the confines of your analysis it can have many meanings and hold multiples at once. As stated the devil/angel on each shoulder, also though could it also be 'devil in a black dress' is temptation and the 'Guardian angel' be resolve being broken. Like someone who say gives up smoking but constantly has one last one and then feels remorse for it after. Did Von have a girlfriend at the time he wrote it? if so it would make sense in the I won't of once more then and then feeling its all crashing around him.
I have found the lyrics of a lot of the songs interesting, but have not looked into a lot of them properly, I might do that for a while is there a good source of them? Though I did spend a long time pondering the Vision Thing ones a lot left out as a similar world view.

Lyrics interpretation in general… but the question was about the lyrics, not interpretations, my bad.
