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)
|
(???)
|
|
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
|
cant give away 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 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 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 hurtle 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
|
(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

your god of hope and light
