Lyrics

Jenny

Jenny Dressed up to go out for the night
She put on her make-up she was looking; all right.
She called up a friend and said you ready to roll?
Let?s go out again and let the rhythm flow.
They got to the party right about ten,
They walked through the front door, the boys let them in.
The strobe light was flashing, they were feeling the beat.
They started dancing, started moving their feet.

She saw this guy his name was Jim, he was tall and sly, dark hair and thin.
He was grooving;, he swept her off of her feet
He was smooth talkin? her, she thought he was sweet
And who could resist an man like this, he pulled her in and he gave her a kiss.
He offered her a drink, maybe it was two,
She said, ?I don?t drink, but hey, thank you.?
He said, ?Free yourself, because you?ll have a good time
?cause dancin? with the Devil, it ain?t no crime.?

He slipped her some powder, some crazy dust,
He took her to the bedroom to release his lust
She couldn?t feel, but he was in for the kill.
Taking her treasure, the fruit to steal.
Well, she knew it was wrong, but she couldn?t say no,
He kept pressin? on to slip in down below
She didn?t know why, but she couldn?t cry.
She didn?t understand why she believed his lies.

Was this come kind of cold nightmare, she was lookin? for the sign but it wasn?t clear
She was cold and numb, she couldn?t feel a thing,
She wanted to run, she prayed it was a dream.
It seemed like hours before he got up,
Her dead flowers, they bled from the cut.
She laid there as she wanted to die
She was in despair as she wept and she cried.

He left her there and returned to the beat,
To the music downstairs heard on the street
After a while she dressed back into her skirt
Snapped on her bra and buttoned up her shirt.
She was calm, as she walked down the hall
Down to the kitchen where the demons called
She walked over the marbled floors.
?cause she could bare her thoughts anymore.

Jenny?s eyes were cold and glazed, she opened up the cabinet, she was in a daze.
Sittin? there was a razor sharp knife, she slit her own through and she took her own life.
And the music, it kept a-pumpin? on when Jenny escaped into her own song.
