Lyrics

MAY

She had a picture of a man in an overcoat
She had a spiked tooth comb in the drawer by the phone

May never did like to drive
She said speedin was for the junkies and the whores

She never had a penny to fly
Her wings got clipped that night
She was all too aware of the light
Heard it from a man who almost died

She worked at the five and dime
Got her clothes next door at the penny store
16 lost her mind
15 lost her cherry on the floor

Chorus

Once met a man named Jim
Mistook him for a John and threw him out the door
Crack never crossed her mind
Said needles were for the foolish and the poor

She never had a penny to fly
Her wings got clipped that night
She was all too aware of the night
Heard it on the day she lost her life
