Jackie’s in the Drive-in
She don’t know where I’ve been
Home is where the heart is
And she’s never there
A rental femme fatale
in a virtual mall
This land has lost control
And no one cares
Mom with mouths to feed
She gets paid to bleed
He’s got her tied up neat
At least I feel today
A voice speaks inside her head
too damaged to wed
a semi runs a red
Jackie felt good that day.
Jackie felt good that day.
Eddie’s in the cube
And he’s a regular dude
Can’t you tell by his crew
Cut and fade
9 on the red line
home around 5
Drinks his pills with red wine
His blame causes pain
One token for the train
One voice leads the way
The gun on display
Just be me
At work he went and saved
The last bullet for his brain (yellin’)
When we’re in the grave
We’ll be free.
Billy’s on the couch
Starin’ at his mouth
Talkin’ about
his crush and his fear
His parents weren’t aware
that his boy friend cared
His sin’s got him scared
The affair grows dear
But his sleeves can’t hide
Three failed suicides
What’s held inside,
Or overheard in the hall.
God is great.
Everyone deserves their fate
No one forgets ’78.
Billy was tortured late fall.
I know
We’ll be free some day
I know
It’s when we’re in the grave

Ticker-tape pride
only comes in white
Was I outta my mind,
or were you outta sight?
Wishin’ fer yer duplex
With a white picket fence.
Why do I withhold sex
like it’s my only defense?
From where I’m sittin’ baby
Yo sho lookin’ fine
But this asphyxiated love
Has gotten me blinded
by the sound
I go down.
A litmus test
was when we both confessed
But friendship was a generous
Guess at best
I go down
Parlance-packed people
Always out of time
The Hepcat H
24/7 whine
Yo pickin’ up the pieces
and I’m throwin’ ‘em down
I want out of the box and back
to the fox and the hound
Ima fightin’ mad fan
Of a bygone time
My spirit’s in the East
Feedin’ on the lion’s share
Painfully aware
Scratchin’ my temples
With a dimple rub
Was the only thing
You could say about our love
I go down
I go down
I go down
I go down
