Jennifer

(A The Killers tribute)

I was lost when I was nine
Just like I'm lost now
Cause I'm here in this heaven
That's so expensive to buy
My curls won't grow
Here in the ground
My hair will be roots
Grass in the field
So a beautiful boy could lay down on me
Cause I'm the nicest girl he had ever seen


The boy that I fell in love with
He bought me a halo, and these wings
But they were hard to bear
and the smells of the saints
they were just so hard to take
Still, I had to pay for the boy's sins
And I was lost when I was nine
Just like I'm lost now
Cause I'm here in this heaven
That's so expensive to buy
Now, the boy keeps my curl on the shelf
In the house that he grew up in
For my mom, and my friends
I'm Dear Jenny, and they miss me
