From the recording Me and My Jawbone

Lyrics

To Jezebel With Love

Still... the night... so still I hear the sorrow falling like the dew

In the night... In my despair at seeing what's become of you

Sweet and bright... The virgin promise that you gave when life was new

Now the sight is burned into my mind. A painted flower is what's become

of you


Jezebel... Your lips are sweet and yet my heart is full of dread

I can tell... Like all the others who have wallowed in your bed...

That since I fell for you it seems my eyes don't work and I can't find my

head

And what's that smell? The city's burning while your children sleep

" Relax... Lie down." she said


Ch:

In the night where hearts and bones are breaking

Out of sight, like the mistake you're making

Wrong and right gets lost in give and take

And push comes to shove... To Jezebel with love




In my dreams the bullets fly just like Saigon and old Beirut

You're the queen... or so you tell me while your man gives me the boot

It's a scheme you and your friends cooked up and no one can refute

By the stream of possibilities unrealized, we're torn out by the root


Movie star... You play the part of one that used to be my friend

But what you are is not a ghost of what she was to me back then

I've gone too far for getting stuck between nowhere and might have been

And life's a scar running up and down your back and love waits for you

in the lion's den


Ch:
