(Jessica's Got A) Ropeburn Songtext

Jessica says that she can't scale

the stairs while she's so thin and frail

can't she see that I've got ailments too



Jessica forms attachments but

she likes her foreign films uncut

Tennessee Williams might know what to do



she needs a guywire, not another guy who's gonna string her along
ever since that torturer came on too strong



(ch, minus last line)

she's just like

tin-roof ice-cream melting

on a catgut racket

spent all summer wearing

Eisenhower jackets



(ch)
