Jackie knew her mother,
but not her father.
He left for good.
After all our business,
she made me breakfast and left for good.
She sparkled like a diamond.
The corner of her eyes all shine.
Take me where your lights will lie.
I told her ‘bout the sugar,
the kind that left your mouth so dry.
I don’t want to see you cross that line.
Jackie knew her way out into the light.
It wasn’t right.
She could be so wild now,
but I don’t want to wait around.
Well, I could never lie.
She sparkled like a diamond.
The corner of her eyes all shine.
Take me where your lights will lie.
I told her ‘bout the sugar,
the kind that left your mouth so dry.
I don’t want to see you cross that line.
I don’t want your veil now.
I’ll go where I, I don’t know…
Taken off her Greyhound,
you know she’ll fight away,
fight away, right away.
She sparkled like a diamond.
The corner of her eyes all shine.
Take me where your lights will lie.
You know I told her ‘bout the sugar,
the kind that left your mouth so dry.
I don’t want to see you cross that line
Manic in the morning light,
she left me with a broken mind.
I don’t want to see your eyes tonight.
I ripped you down the borderline with subjugated lullabies.
Take me where the sun will shine tonight.
After all, we said goodbye.
I wrote the book for alibis.
Kill the switch,
it’s time to cut the light.
