Jessie Lyrics

Jessie maybe I'm too far gone
The city's empty, the light's all wrong
Lately I conjure you
In the cigarette smoke on Parc Avenue
Tired eyes
Why the masquerade?
We're all haunting the same dead parade
Haunting or hanging around
Drunk on the dreams that bleed this town
Jessie it's the electricity

Between these buildings
Consuming me
Tired eyes
It's just shadows and shade and flashes of light
A soft serenade
You were the actor, playing the saviour
As if my faith was stronger
Like some beginner
I'll stay here until this place closes
I've buried my rivals in whiskey and roses
Damned and feather light
You can wear your best dress out every night
