Like Jimmy Dean

You were the first one to keep up

When time to lose was time to stop

I loved the way you watched me die

I loved that dress you wore that night

And the miracles you found

Kept with the sane deep underground

Were they the lockets for the free?

Or just the spell you worked so tightly

Over me? You and me?

And the letters that you wrote

While you safely overdosed

Were those the times you couldn't see?

Was that the answer left for me?

My little dream why did you call

If just to leave me at the wall?

Oh you ignited me, invited me

Fading out like Jimmy Dean

Message on your movie screen

Another dose of infamy

Fading out like Jimmy Dean

You were the last one on the list

Crept through the back with gentle kiss

Oh I'm not trying to complain

I can't be bleeding here again

But figure out the lesser sin

Left wit hthe doubt and those

'could-have-beens'

Oh you ignited me, invited me

Fading out like Jimmy Dean...

Oh rebel without cause

In some other prison ward

Oh just to feel your body's warmth

But Jimmy Dean waits at the door

Another rebel without cause

Stuck in some other prison ward

Oh just to feel your body's warmth

But Jimmy Dean waits at the door
