On Jubilee Street
There was a girl named Bee
She had a history
But she had no past
When they shut her down
The Russians moved in
And I'm too scared
I'm too scared
To even walk on past
She used to say
All those good people down on Jubilee Street
They ought to practice what they preach
Here they are to practice just what they preach
Those good people on Jubilee Street
And here I come up the hill
I'm pushing my wheel of love
I got love in my tummy
And a tiny little pain
And a ten ton catastrophe
On a 60-pound chain
And I'm pushing my wheel of love on Jubilee Street
Ah, look at me now
The problem was she had a little black book
And my name was written on every page
Well, a girl’s gotta make ends meet
Even down Jubilee Street
I was out of place and time
And over the hill
And out of my mind
On Jubilee Street
I ought to practice what I preach
These days I go downtown
In my tie and tails
I got a fetus on a leash
I am alone now
I am beyond recriminations
Curtains are shut
The furniture is gone
I'm transforming
I'm vibrating
I'm glowing
I'm flying
Look at me now
I'm flying
Look at me now
