Paroles
There you stood
In a mosaic doorway
Just out of the rain
On a winter morning
Not a street man
A dealer's around
It's just you and me
And the quiet sound
The cold rain
On the orange floor lane
The gutter to the ground
I was supposed to be
With a doctor's child
A good blond girl
With a benevolent smile
And spend my teenage years
With my future bride
Dancing in the halls
Beneath grim fluorescent lights
But those times
Were from another life of mine
Show me the dark side, Jackie Marie
God knows what I'm running from, but I feel so free
Show me the black
Behind your fatal smile
There's no coming back
After a while
There's no coming back
After a while
After a while
After a while
Something in the wind
Shaking this lean-to spine
And the way your eyes
Stare through the piercing sheet of white
Lay down your weapons
Your anger, your devil's guile
And hold my body like a lonely child
For you are fond
Of the gentle taste of death's kiss in my eye
Show me the dark side, Jackie Marie
God knows what I'm running from, but I feel so free
Show me the black
Behind your fatal smile
There's no coming back
After a while
Show me the dark side, Jackie
Show me the dark side, Jackie Marie
Show me the dark side, Jackie
Show me the dark side, Jackie Marie
There's no going back
You can never go back
Never go back
After a while
There's no going back
You can never go back
Never go back
After a while
There's no coming back
After a while
