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
