jodie wears a hat
although it hasn't rained for 6 days
she says "a girl needs a gun
these days on account of all the rattlesnakes"

she looks like eve marie saint in
on the waterfront
she reads simone de beauvoir
in her american circumstance

she's less than sure if her heart has come to stay in san jose
and her neverborn child still haunts her
as she speeds down the freeway
as she tries her luck
with the traffic police
out of boredom more than spite
she never finds no trouble
she tries too hard
she's obvious despite herself

she looks like eve marie saint in
on the waterfront
she says all she needs is therapy
yeah
all you need is:
love is all you need

jodie never sleeps 'cause there are always needles in the hay
she says "a girl needs a gun
these days on account of all the
rattlesnakes"

she looks like eve marie saint in
on the waterfront
as she reads simone de beauvoir
in her american circumstance

her heart
her heart's like
crazy paving:
upside down and back to front
she says "it's so hard to love
when love was your great disappointment"
