Leo and Ellie

Leo was chopping wood at the docks

Ellie went to school behind the tracks

Leo was so fragile, his soul was good

Ellie was the best chick in the neighborhood

Nothing is ever exactly what it seems

They came here by a freight train from New Orleans

Leo got a wound, but not from the tool

Ellie met the guy after school

Then she bore to babies just for a start

It left such a big hole in Leo's heart

Nothing is ever exactly what it seems

They came here by a freight train from New Orleans

First baby was Jack

The second was Elaine

Jack was such a bad man that Ellie

Nearly died of shame

Nothing is ever exactly what it seems

Jack made a nightmare out of Ellie's dreams

Jack made a nightmare out of Ellie's dreams

Jack made a nightmare out of Ellie's dreams

Jack made a nightmare out of Ellie's dreams
