Baby you made me happy tonight,
when you sent me away with those sadliest eyes.
I wish I could show you the fire inside,
the desire to conquer, the ruins of love.
There was no angel by my side.
Someone asked for a quarter, so I poured out my heart.
As you opened the door and you asked for some wine,
All your secrets were oozing through some innocent rhymes.
Down, to dust, our love, our lust, will fall.
J-town girl with sad eyes on my wall.
You never stayed here long enough to see end.
You had some balls to call yourself my friend.
When I opened my eyes, this whole town disappeared,
There was nothing take, there was nothing to give.
This ghost town is hanging and spinning around.
It used to be home, now it's base holy ground.
Too early to quit, but too late to be found,
Your band's getting tired & old & home bound.
Messing with messages, safe & soothing the crowds,
Sleeping like babies, and waking like clowns
Down, to dust, our love, our lust, will fall
J-town girl with sad eyes on my wall
You never stayed here long enough to see end
You had some balls to call yourself my friend.
