Jackson Park Express

歌詞

Tuesday morning, 8:15 I was riding to work on the Jackson Park Express Seemed like any other day Then my whole world changed, in a way I never could have guessed 'Cause she walked in, oh oh oh Took the seat right across the aisle I knew we had a special connection The second I saw her smile She smiled as if to say "Hello... haven't seen you on this bus before" I gave her a look that said "Huh... life is funny, you never know what's in store By the way, your hair is beautiful I bet it smells like raisins" She looked at me in a way that asked "Did you have a nose job or something? I'm only asking 'cause your nose looks slightly better Than the rest of your face" I arched my eyebrow ever-so-slightly, which was my way of asking "Do you want my old Hewlett-Packard printer? It still works, kinda And I've got a bunch of ink cartridges left" Then she let out a long sigh, which I took to mean "Uh! Mama! What is that deodorant you're wearing? It's intoxicating Why don't we drive out to the country sometime And collect deer ticks in a Ziploc baggie... aw yeah" I gave her a penetrating stare, which could only mean "You are my answer, my answer to everything Which is why I'll probably do very poorly On the written part of my driver's test" Oh ho hoo wo, ho ho, ho ho, ho ho yes It all happened on the Jackson Park Express On the Jackson Park Express On the Jackson Park Express On the Jackson Park Express Oh ho, oh wo I knew she was startin' to fall for me 'Cause she crinkled her nose, which unmistakably meant "Baby, let's wear each other's clothes And speak in a thick German accent And maybe someday we can own and operate Our own mobile pet grooming service" I couldn't hold back my feelings I gave her a look that said "I would make any sacrifice for your love Goat, chicken - whatever I could never hold you close enough Let's have our bodies surgically grafted together Aw... surgically grafted together" She picked up a newspaper and started reading to herself Which I'm sure was her way of telling me "When you're cold, I will warm you Aw... when you're shivering, I will hold you When you're nauseous, I will give you Pepto Bismol every hour for as long as the symptoms persist Oh, I never, ever wanna see you cry So please let me cauterize your tear ducts with an arc welder" Then I glanced down at her shirt for a second In a way that clearly implied "I like your boobs" Aw! Oh ho ho, ho ho, ho ho yes It all happened on the Jackson Park Express On the Jackson Park Express On the Jackson Park Express On the Jackson Park Express I cleared my throat quietly, and then I looked away And I'm sure it was obvious to her just what I was trying to say I was trying to say "Hey... I'd like to make a wall-sized mural Out of all the dead skin cells that you slough off While you sleep at night Oh ho, I'd like to rip you wide open... aw And French kiss every single one of your internal organs Aw! I'd like to remove all your skin And wear your skin over my own skin But not in a creepy way" Then I'm pretty sure she looked at me Out of the corner of her good eye And though she never spoke a word This is exactly what I heard... she was sayin' "Aw! I want to make out with you In an abandoned tollbooth in the middle of a monsoon I want to ride dolphins with you In the moonlight, until the staff at Sea World kicks us out I want you inside me, oh oh Like a tapeworm" I pointed to the side of my mouth as a way of indicating "Hey, I think you've got something on the side of your mouth" She licked the corner of her lips as if to say, "Here?" I nodded, implying, "Yeah, you got it" And then the bus stopped at 53rd St. And she got up suddenly "Where are you going?" pleaded my eyes "Baby, don't you do this to me" Think of the beautiful children we could have some day We could school 'em at home, raise 'em up the right way And protect them from the evils of the world Like trigonometry and prime numbers Wo no, baby, please don't go" She brushed my leg as she left the bus I'm sure that was her way of sayin' "I'm sorry, this just isn't working out You're suffocating me I need some space to find out what life's all about So goodbye forever... my love" And deep inside I knew she was right It was time for us both to move on No, I never got her number, aw no no She never bothered to leave her address Aw... But as long as I live I'll never forget those precious moments we shared Together on the Jackson Park Express On the Jackson Park Express On the Jackson Park Express On the Jackson Park Express On the Jackson Park Express On the Jackson Park Express On the Jackson Park Express On the Jackson Park Express
