Lyrics:Jay Bolotin Music:Jay Bolotin | |
Among the possesions of an outlaw of a low class kind | |
Is this little bottle of French perfume | |
Taken as a last thought from a drug store in suburbia | |
He said, 'Lady, look what I've got for you.' | |
She said, 'Jesse, I don't hardly even know you anymore. | |
And judging from your grin, you'd think you held up Henry Ford. | |
And I don't believe I want you a comin’ ‘round here anymore. Ooh.' | |
Jesse, he was hurt, boy, and he left there, and he slammed the door. | |
And he wandered through the alleyways. | |
Thinkin’ all the while that she'd be proud of what he stole for her, | |
And he tried to think of better ways. | |
Dreamin’ of a movie that he'd seen one afternoon, | |
He drew out all his savings and he went and bought a gun. | |
And he ran right home and stood before his mirror | |
Acting like a thug, ooh. | |
He waited for a dark night; he was frightened, boy, the fog rolled in, | |
As a rich man, he came walkin’ by, | |
'Hold your hands up high,' he cried, | |
'I've come to make your fortune mine.' | |
But his eyes, they gave him right away, | |
Jesse dropped the gun and they both stared at to where it lay. | |
And Jesse asked the man if he'd please leave him in his pain. | |
And the man tried to forgive him, but there's not much he could say. Ooh. | |
Among the possessions of an outlaw of a low class kind | |
Is this little bottle of French perfume | |
Taken as a last thought from a drugstore in suburbia. | |
He said, 'Lady, look what I've got for you.' | |
'Ah, take it, ah, please take it; I'm tired and I'm poor. | |
And this crappy French perfume is nothin’ less than my own soul. | |
I was feelin’ half a man; I wanted to feel whole, ooh.' | |
Oooh...ooh,ooh. |
