All her signals are getting lost in the ether, she's a landslide with a city beneath her
So take a good look, so you'll never forget it (That's what she wanted)
Take a deep breath, I know I'm gonna regret it (That's what she wanted)
Holly's looking dry looking for an easy target
Let her slit my throat give her ammo if she'll use it
Caution on the road lies lies and hidden danger.
Southern California's breeding mommy's little monster.

She's got a mission, and I'm collateral damage. (That's what she wanted)
She's the flower that you place on my casket. (That's what she wanted)
Savor the moment cause the memory's fleeting.
Take a photograph, as the last train is leaving.

Holly's looking dry looking for an easy target
Let her slit my throat give her ammo if she'll use it
Caution on the road lies lies and hidden danger.
Southern California's breeding mommy's little monster.

Better run run run run run (Holly let me out)
Better run run run run run (Holly let me out)
Better run run run run run (Holly let me out)
Better run run run run run run run (Holly let me out)

Song Facts  
This song is based around the story of one of the band's techs first crushes. Allegedly, the girl invited the band tech around to her house on a date. The tech rode his bicycle there as fast as he could, but upon arriving, she and her friends jumped out and sprayed him with a water hose. The tech went home, embarrassed and humiliated. The story has also been brought up in past interviews, where allegedly, the name Holly was derived from Tom Delonge's first girlfriend, who left him for his older brother.

I love this song. Mark is so crazy in this song. It definetly has a 'new sound' to it. Very catchy, kinda bouncy, but hard at the same time. One question: Who the fuck is Holly? And why is she all over this album?

That is a pretty sad story behind this song. The song itself is one of my favorites. All the songs on this album kick ass. I'm wondering who Holly is too.

This song is wonderful because it ties together with 'All of This' with the same riff and the same girl, but they're completely different songs. Awesome idea. The story about Holly is in the liner notes.

Has anyone else noticed mark's snarling lyric at the end of the chorus? "Southen California's breeding mommy's little monster". Mark gets a little angry on the "mommy's litle monster" part. What's going on? Kickass song though, my fave on the album.

Maybe he's paying tribute to one of the great bands in punk history Social Distortion...they had a song and album called "Mommy's Little Monster"

I have to say this is my favorite song. The guitar is awsome, i love the beat and the lyrics are amazing. (not that i was expecting any less from them.) I love how it leads into All Of This.

I like how the guitar part at the end starts off fast and then slows down bridging into the next song. Pretty awesome.

Best song on the Cd. wish it were a little longer though. Very punkish and amazing. Easily considered vintage Blink
