Jerry Leger - Justine Lyrics

She gave me a lie and made me like it
She built us a promise all made of snow
And every day is in the past somehow
The trickster and the mouth keeps on guessing

Prison is a fine place to end a marriage
Texas is a fine State for losing your mind
'Cause I followed her down south
Upon the bouncing ball of doubt
And now I'm hurting

I know you got just what you wanted
And you know that I can't help but smile
Oh, the lights from her distant tower
And the bullets they rain on me tonight

She took my name and put it in her right side pocket
But she left me cold in the ambush on Brookside Drive
Where do you wanna go, Justine
The nightmare or the daydream
Can't you see I'm bleeding

I know you got just what you wanted
And you know that I can't help but smile
Oh, the lights from her distant tower
And the bullets they rain on me tonight

Death before trial
Romance before the kiss
She kept her word
But she hid it up inside her head
Did she let me die for her
Or was I too sick to feel the cure she was spinning

I know you got just what you wanted
And you know that I can't help but smile
Oh, the lights from her distant tower
And the bullets they rain on me tonight
