Man Man – Poor Jackie Lyrics

  • by
Read Time:3 Minute, 29 Second

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
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 bodys warm
And thats her cue

Jackies 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 aint no man

And I dont 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 dont 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 impressed 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
Im on a downward spiral towards you
And Ill 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 Im wearing virginal white for you
Dont you see
So please come with your sharpened knives
And murder me
And Im wearing virginal white for you
Dont you see
So please come with your sharpened knives
And murder me
Cause Im wearing virginal white for you
Dont you see
And my eyes are more open now
Than theyll ever be

Whys it got to be
I heard it all before
Cause it dont always end
The way it ended before
Whys it got to be
Ive heard it all before
Cause it dont always end
The way it ended before
There aint no God here
Whys it got to be
As far as I can see
Ive heard it all before
Your God of hope and light
Cause it dont always end
Never did nothing straight by me
The way it ended before
There aint no God here
Whys it got to be
As far as I can see
Ive heard it all before
Your God of hope and light
Cause it dont always end
Never did nothing straight by me
The way it ended before
There aint no God here
Whys it got to be
As far as I can see
Ive heard it all before
Your God of hope and light
Cause it dont always end
Never did nothing straight by me
The way it ended before
There aint no God here
Whys it got to be
As far as I can see
Ive heard it all before
Your God of hope and light
Cause it dont always end
Never did nothing straight by me
Cause it dont always end
There aint no God here
Cause it dont always end
As far as I can see
Cause it dont always end
Your God of hope and light
Cause it dont always end
Never did nothing straight by me
Cause it dont always end
There aint no God here
Cause it dont always end
As far as I can see
Cause it dont always end
Your God of hope and light
Cause it dont always end
Never did nothing straight by me
Cause it dont always end
Cause it dont always end
Cause it dont always end
Cause it dont always end
Cause it dont always end
