about

My answer to Bobbie Gentry's "Ode to Billy Joe"... ;-)

lyrics

Cut the deck, let's see who's dealing
Low card leads the way
By now I guess you heard about Jennifer...a car wreck...in a single moment earlier today

15-2, 15-4...
...and 8 makes an even dozen
A week ago she was totally on fire
...and everyone said that she was buzzin'

But I could see the pain behind those eyes
Especially when she was smilin'
Remember that time she almost rang the bell?
Cryin'...yeah I'm cryin'
But like Marleney always said
"If your eyes don't leak, your head will eventually swell

A run of 5, hey they're all spades
I looks like I'm stealin' your crib
Whiskey and cards on a snowy afternoon
I heard Bob might have broken a rib?

But she was DOA, and it broke the island's heart
Ain't no way this won't be stickin'
I guess you and I will both be alive at the end of the world
We'll both be alive and kickin'
Alive and kickin'
Alive and kickin'
