Man man - Poor jackie lyrics

rate me

Jackie hits the streets

She swears that all she sees

Is the hunger in their eyes

And the desperation in their speech

Jackie haunts 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 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 wool for you

Don't you see

So please come with your sharpened knives

And murder me

And I'm wearing virginal wool for you

Don't you see

So please come with your sharpened knives

And murder me

Cause I'm wearing virginal wool 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 about 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 about 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 about 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 about 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 about 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 about 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)<br />
