Jessie

Jessie used to live on down my street
In the mornings after parties
She would come and help us clean
All the fallout from cigarettes and speed
She came with coffee in my hour of need
And I can't recall just how she got a key
But Jessie used to live on down my street

Jessie's gonna pull you up to dance
Cuttin' shapes to disco breaks
Sashaying to psy-trance
And without warning you're face deep in her arms
She radiates a fervent kind of charm
And if you've got a song I've got a beat
Jessie's dancing up and down the street

Now she's sailing through the astral plane
She caught the dream-winds blowing west
She's gonna shed her skin and start again
I just hope she don't forget

It's alright I guess it's only temporary
Gotta try to clean up my own mess
Realized the girl is nothing ordinary now
Jessie come back please

Lately I've been drifting through a haze
When the warmth I seek seems out of reach
And nothing comes my way
Been a long day when I stagger through the door
And I find Jessie she's curled up with the dog

And she offers up a drink that came from me
And she says "just for the night" but I know three
And I still don't know how she got a key
But I guess that's how we do in this family

She came home
She came home
She came home
