well jolene unlocked the thick, breezeway door, |
|
like she'd done one hundred times before. |
|
jolene smoothed her dark hair in the mirror. |
|
she folded the towel carefully and put it back in place. |
|
yeah i want to pull you down into bed. |
|
i want to cast your face in lead. |
|
well every time i pull you close, |
|
push my face into your hair, |
|
cream rinse and tobacco smoke, |
|
that sickly scent is always, always there. |
|
jolene heard her father's uneven snores. |
|
right then she knew there must be something more. |
|
jolene heard the singing in the forest. |
|
she opened the door quietly and stepped into the night. |
|
yeah i want to throw you out into space. |
|
i want to do whatever it takes, takes, takes. |
|
well every time i pull you close, |
|
push my face into your hair, |
|
cream rinse and tobacco smoke, |
|
that sickly scent is always, always there. |
