Jackie Down The Line

My friend Sally says she knows ya

Got a funny point of view

Says you've got away with murder

Maybe one time, maybe two

Something happens in the morning

When I can't see those failing eyes

I can't find a good word for ya

Does it come as a surprise?

I don't think we'd rhyme

I will wear you down in time

I will hurt you, I'll desert you

I am Jackie down the line

Said did Sally 'bout a future

Before you bored of her as well

If all you want is entertainment

If you can't have it, you make hell

Don't make no odds for you

To be told, yeah

Don't make no odds for you

To be told, yeah

I don't think we'd rhyme

I will wear you down in time

I will hurt you, I'll desert you

I am Jackie down the line

I don't think we'd rhyme

I will make your secrets mine

I will hate you, I'll debase you

I am Jackie down the line

So come on down to Sally's boneyard

See her spirit in decline

See the handsome mourners crying

They hawked a beating heart for a sturdy spine, yeah

What good is happiness to me

If I've to wield it carefully?

For care I'll always come up short

It's only right

I don't think we'd rhyme

I will wear you down in time

I will hurt you, I'll desert you

I'm one Jackeen of a line

I don't think we'd rhyme

I will take up all your time

I will chew you, I'll go through you

I am Jackie down the line

I don't think we'd rhyme

I will make your secrets mine

I will hate you, I'll debase you

I am Jackie down the line

And I will stone you, I'll alone you

I am Jackie down the line

If I can make you, I can break you

I am Jackie down the line

I am Jackie down the line
