Jackie and Wilson

Dog tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes

No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight

So deep in the swill with the most familiar swine

For reasons raptured and divine

She blows out of nowhere, roman candle of wild

Laughing away through my feeble disguise

No other version of me I would pretend to be tonight

Cause Lord she found me just in time

Cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done

I need to be youthfully felt

Cause Lord I never felt young

She's gonna save me, call me baby, run her hands through my hair

She'll know me crazy, soothe me daily, actually she wouldn't care

We'll steal her Lexus, be detective's, ride around picking up clues

We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson, raise em on rhythm and blues

Lord it'd be great to find a place we could escape sometime

Me and my Isis growing black irises in the sunshine

Every version of me are buried in the yard outside

Sit back and watch the world go by

Happy to lie back, watch it burn and rust

We tried to be in the world, good god it wasn't for us

She's gonna save me, call me baby, run her hands through my hair

We'll still her Lexus, be detectives, ride around picking up clues

We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson, raise em on rhythm and blues

Cut clean from the dream at night with my mind upset

Looking up from the cigarette, she's already left

Start thinking of the art what's left of me in our little vinette

For whatever poor soul is coming next

She's gonna save me, call me baby, run her hands through my hair

She'll know me crazy, soothe me daily, actually she wouldn't care

We'll steal her Lexus, be detectives, ride around picking up clues

We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson, raise em on rhythm and blues
