Poor Jackie

歌詞

Jackie hits the streets She swears that all she sees Is the hunger in their eyes And the desperation in their speech Jackie hunts the shadows With a bowie knife at her elbows She cuts free those horrible drums That beat like bats under their sternums She wears their fear around her neck (I heard it all) (From shady streets) (She travels light) (On angel feet) (Best watch your back, if I were you) (Her body's warm) (And that's her cue) Jackie's still on the loose As the detectives gathered clues So she tattoos a mustache above her lip Shaves her head Curses God for those hips, That sway when the beat plays, Dead giveaway she ain't no man And I don't see what everybody Sees in your sexy body All I see Is a shallow grave Trapped inside of a pretty face Rescue me Is written on your bed Home is where the bullet lands As it travels through your head And I believe That all I need to set me free Is for someone someday somewhere to murder me And I don't see what everybody Sees in your sexy body All I see Is a shallow grave Trapped inside of a pretty face And I walk the same cold streets Overhear the same heartbeats And I tune my drum just right So you can come set it off in the night And I want to be embraced by you And see our violent paths collide I want to crawl in your autumn mouth And feel the crows pick me apart inside And everything that they said is true I'm on a downward spiral towards you And I'll fight through the positive steps as I hurl towards my final descent And I need to get back to you And lay this heavy head in your lap Cause these days nothing makes more sense Than the dance towards the inevitable end And I'm wearing virginal white for you Don't you see So please come with your sharpened knives And murder me And I'm wearing virginal white for you Don't you see So please come with your sharpened knives And murder me Cause I'm wearing virginal white for you Don't you see And my eyes are more open now Than they'll ever be (Why's it got to be) (I heard it all before) (Cause it don't always end) (The way it ended before) (Why's it got to be) (I've heard it all before) (Cause it don't always end) (The way it ended before) There ain't no God here (Why's it got to be) As far as I can see (Ive heard it all before) Your God of hope and light (Cause it don't always end) Never did nothing straight by me (The way it ended before) There ain't no God here (Why's it got to be) As far as I can see (I've heard it all before) Your God of hope and light (Cause it don't always end) Never did nothing straight by me (The way it ended before) There ain't no God here (Why's it got to be) As far as I can see (I've heard it all before) Your God of hope and light (Cause it don't always end) Never did nothing straight by me (The way it ended before) There ain't no God here (Why's it got to be) As far as I can see (I've heard it all before) Your God of hope and light (Cause it don't always end) Never did nothing straight by me (Cause it don't always end) There ain't no God here (Cause it don't always end) As far as I can see (Cause it don't always end) Your God of hope and light (Cause it don't always end) Never did nothing straight by me (Cause it don't always end) There ain't no God here (Cause it don't always end) As far as I can see (Cause it don't always end) Your God of hope and light (Cause it don't always end) Never did nothing straight by me (Cause it don't always end) (Cause it don't always end) (Cause it don't always end) (Cause it don't always end) (Cause it don't always end)
