Jupiter and Teardrop

Just a girl who can't say no And her sweetheart on parole Parents named her Jupiter To bless her with a lucky soul He's a boy who never cried When they locked him up inside And she nicknamed him her teardrop For the tattoo by his eye Now she's sleeping in her bed And he's sleeping in her bed And it's Jupiter and Teardrop And it's Jupiter and Teardrop She divines by radio Pushing buttons show to show And she wonders 'bout the fate of lovers in the barrio She forgets after a while When she tunes in on the dial Jackie Wilson's Lonely Teardrops And she drives another mile Now she's sleeping in her bed And he's sleeping in her bed And it's Jupiter and Teardrop And it's Jupiter and Teardrop And it's Jupiter and Teardrop And they want to have a child Walk together down the aisle But the world they live in is mean And it's built on sheer denial The phone ring, it's for her "I got to see ya, Jupiter I'm in trouble with the law Bring my 38 caliber" Now she's sleeping in her bed As she pulls the phone plug dead, dead And it's Jupiter and Teardrop And it's Jupiter and Teardrop And it's Jupiter and Teardrop And it's Jupiter and Teardrop And it's Jupiter and Tear And it's Jupiter and Tear
