[Instrumental]
[Verse One]
I'm stood waiting in the stairwell
Searching my raincoat for ideas
It took falling in love to kick all the drugs
But I could really use a beer
Oh, Jackie arrives five minutes late
She looks like she slept in the street
"Oh c'mon lady, what're doing to me?"
Jackie just stares at her feet
[Verse Three]
Oh, these friends of mine I've known quite a while
But I can't trust them with a thing
And they'll rob you blind
And I know at any time
They'll take everything from me
[Instrumental]
[Verse Three]
So tell me where it is that we're heading
I don't think that I'll make the ride;
I got a belly full of pills making me ill
I got nothing left to hide
So excuse me while I step into traffic;
This modern world is getting to me
Oh, Jackie, start the car, I'm falling apart
I got nothing left in me
[Instrumental]
[Verse Four]
Jackie says ell be there in an hour;
She's takin' the shortcut to the church
And just in case He's real, I tell him how I feel
This is my last day on earth
There's a cloud and it hangs in my mind
And everything reminds me of us
And all the days turn to years
And years turn to tears
And I can never get enough
[Instrumental]
[Verse Five]
Oh, Jackie, what is it that you're saying?
How did things get this bad?
We used to have it all, knocking at the door
When did it all get so sad?
She said that I just can't be without you
And I think that you love me too
And if you say it right now, I'll turn this car around
But I'm not leaving without you
[Instrumental]
