Jackie and Wilson (Live in America)

So tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes

No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight

So deep in the swill with the most familiar of swine

Reasons wretched and divine

She blows out of nowhere, a Roman candle of the wild

Laughing her way through my feeble disguise

No better version of me I would rather be tonight

Lord, she's found me just in time

'Cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done

I need to be youthfully felt 'cause God, I never felt young

She's gonna save me, call me baby, run her hands through my hair

She'll know me crazy, soothe me daily, but better yet, she wouldn't care

We'll steal a Lexus, be detectives, ride 'round picking up clues

We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson, raise 'em on rhythm and blues

Lord, it'd be great to find a place we could escape some time

Me and my Isis growing black irises in the sunshine

Every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside

We'd sit back and watch the world go by

Happy to lie back, watch it burn and rust

We tried the world, good God, it wasn't for us

She's gonna save me, call me baby, run her hands through my hair

She'll know me crazy, soothe me daily, better yet, she wouldn't care

We'll steal a Lexus, be detectives, ride 'round picking up clues

We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson, raise 'em on rhythm and blues

Cut clean from the dream that night let my mind reset

Looking up from a cigarette and she's already left

Start digging up the yard for what's left of me in our little vignette

Whatever poor soul is coming next

She's gonna save me, call me baby, run her hands through my hair

She'll know me crazy, soothe me daily, better yet, she wouldn't care

We'll steal a Lexus, be detectives, ride 'round picking up clues

We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson, raise 'em on rhythm and blues
