Recessive Jean Songtext

von Shriekback

Here is the face plumber
Bearing improvised food
To the space on the landing
That is so rarely used
Here's the loop grinder
Making marginal news
Gonna stand on the corner
Singing reprobate blues

With a charm to disarm and a passion for harm
In so many ways, so many ways
A façade of calm can but raise the alarm
At the end of days, the end of days

Here's a chronic intruder
Crossing Chemical Park
Through a break in a long chain
And the darkest of sparks
She will dress for success she will welcome excess
In so many ways, so many ways
A deadly caress, nothing more nothing less
At the end of days. the end of days

Hey ho, Recessive Jean
Take the money and keep it clean
Put your hand on the Bible and the book is cold
Don't be so bold, Recessive Jean
Hey ho, Recessive Jean
Bite the bullet and make a scene
Put your head in the oven and turn it on
You'll soon be gone. Recessive Jean

She will twist and resist and return to insist
In so many ways, so many ways
She's keeping a list of those she will kiss
At the end of days. the end of days

Hey ho, Recessive Jean
Take the money and keep it clean
Put your hand on the Bible and the book is cold
Don't be so bold, Recessive Jean
Hey ho, Recessive Jean
Bite the bullet and make a scene
Put your head in the oven and turn it on
You'll soon be gone, Recessive Jean
