Candy talks to strangers

Thinks her life's in danger

No one gives a damn about her hair

It's lonely down on track street

She used to go by Jackie

The cops, they'll steal your dreams and they'll kill your prayers

Take a number where the blood just barely dried

Crooked wheels keep turning

Children, are you learning?

Climatize, but don't you lose the plot

A history of blisters

Your brothers and your sisters

Somewhere in the pages we forgot

Take a number, Jackie, where the blood just barely dried

You know I'm on your side

You gotta be stronger than the story

Don't let it blind you

Rivers are shallow

Your sky is full of dreams

But you don't know how to fly

I don't have a simple answer

But I know that I could answer

Something better
