Since it came out, I've heard this song as a kind of film noir playing out in real time, "cut to baby taking off her clothes...", "She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake". Elvis served notice early on that he cut hard lyrically. Liking the Sturgill Simpson album cover displayed there; have been getting into him for the last year or two. Great upload.
Think of watching the investigation ID, channel. Or people who like to read and watch things about serial killers and murders. That's what I think this song is about. And especially in the last verse, it is the serial killer who is killing. If you're watching it on TV close up of the sign that says we never close. Though it nearly took you a miracle to get you to stay, that's the serial killer talking, it only took my little fingers to blow you away. Away. Nice girls. One with the defect, cellophane shrink wrap. So correct. Meaning to the serial killer, everyone is the same as every other one. He goes after his type, and every one of them is the perfect victim, potentially.
Elvis Costello lyrics are often use word play and puns so that there can be multiple meanings (or shades of meaning) running in parallel

Early 80s at the River Walk , San Antonio , Texas. I believe it was a thing called Stohling on the River
