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
