lyrics

Your number’s dead
Your sister said
Some strange men came through asking after you
They mentioned the rent was due

The first time I spoke with her
The voice so familiar
“You sound just like Jennifer”

Your car was gone
Your blinds were drawn
How long had it been since I’d heard from you?
I reckon a year or two

I can’t be sure
I heard what the rumors were
The words hardly registered

Your father’s friends
Those generous men
Attentions you never consented to
So desperate to rescue you

Those nights you knelt
Those clandestine cries for help
Most men tend to help themselves

I remember:
Just you & I
As high as the starless sky
At night by the light of the swimming pool
As sacred as Sunday school

All bathed in blue
Brand new stick-and-poke tattoo
The bridegroom inside of you


Who was there when the scene got grim?
All frail and thin
And pale as the dress you were christened in
And where were your saviors then?

The friends who knew
The men you meant nothing to
The nights in the ICU

Your number’s dead
Your mother said
Your sister looks just like a younger you
Just before your skin improved

Well I feel for her
I wonder how young you were
She needs you here, Jennifer
