I'm sure from that you can make a case that the girl has killed herself. It also wouldn't take a huge stretch of imagination to make a case that it's actually about his first love walking out on him, not saying why or where she's going and Meat not having the closure of knowing what really happened. That is the joy of a well written song, it can be interpreted numerous ways. Plus a song about suicide is a pretty grim prospect.

The genius of Jim is that he does not need to use foul language to get across whatever it is he wants to convey. Would All Revved Up have been any better with the line 'I'm going to ~~~~ a virgin' stuck in the middle?
