jenna - jesse and the revelator lyrics

Loading...

she ain’t a day over 11 with nails
painted with magic marker and heels
two sizes big, make her walk kinda funny
they call her a lizard, but she’s making money
so f-ck ’em

wander the tarmac till some headlights beckon
a wink in the nighttime, that’s romance she reckons
she never known love that didn’t come from an angle
violence and tenderness, they all get sorta tangled
up inside her

her daddy keeps a .410 on the table during dinner
he once let her hold it so she’d know that it ain’t in her
to ever do something that he says she might regret
he says, “you think that times are tough? just wait and see how tough they get
without me”

[chorus]
and of course her dreams aren’t gone
they just sorta moved along
and that’s how come she’s feelin left behind
and of course she’s tired of this sh-t
but she’s also used to it
sayin, “you go on, i’ll catch up with you in time”

inside a cabin with a man thrice her age
she tries concentratin on the dashboard display
an older girl once told her, never call em by their names
and if you don’t look em in the eyes they’ll start to look the same
after so long

sometimes at night she dreams of fire on a lake
awakes and sits up like a stepped-upon rake
thinks of going home and of how long she’s been gone
then of what they’ll say of all the awful sh-t she’s done
and she lies back down

it ain’t how you think it’d be, like carryin’ round a weight
it’s more like diggin holes or like givin things away
my god, if she kept count the number’d drive her insane
she never been out dancin, but she’s circlin the drain
every evening

[chorus]
and of course her dreams aren’t dead
they just sorta gone ahead
and that’s how come she’s feelin’ left behind
and of course she’s tired of this sh-t
but she’s also used to it
sayin, “you go on, i’ll catch up with you in time”
