Oh Jackie

Oh Jackie
Dry those eyes
Don't get so hypnotized by boys who
Try to bring you down

Convinced that she's a karama queen
Pulling strings behind the scenes saying
"Don't get mad, get even."

She's rolling down the windows
In the winter when I'm with her
As she's smoking her last cigarette
Telling me of this week's vignettes

She's having trouble letting go
Her mother's daughter don't you know
But she's never alone though
Her friends are singing on the radio

Oh Jackie's
Wasting days
Playing hookie with the way
There's dust around her halo
In a hollow, shallow grave

There's a crown of flowers
Above her mirror
And caution tape that reads to clear
She's afraid of falling backwards

Is it therapy or apathy?
It doesn't matter much to me
As long as we're sharing glances
While were dancing
There's more to life than second chances

And let me ask you this my friend
When you lay your weary head
And you're at your bitter end
Know time with you is life well spent

Bah bah bah

Do do do do do do do do
Ow!
Bah
Bah bah bah

Oh Jackie's
Doing fine
Never been good at goodbye
She's on the go again
