Jody Lyrics

Jody lyrics

Jody, what you been doing?

It's been a long, long time

Since we went dancing in the schoolyard,

With your breasts like bleeding limes



Jody, are you still hanging with that latin?

With rabbit fur inside his wheels?

With his Gilbert Roland piece,

And his glove department deals



Uptown, we watched the debutantes skating

Across the reservoir ice

Dressed in tweed and leather flags . . .

And you whispered six words twice



Jody, look what time has done

To people who live on the run

Jody, look what time has done



Jody, I spent years living at the movies

I really hated you awhile

I wrote so many incantations

Lord, I had to keep a file . . . you said



"Uptown . . ." and I said, "Downtown."

Downtown the rooftops are wide

I was sinking in the tar, I screamed,

"This City is on my side"



Jody, go to any window;

Raise your eyes up to the sky . . .

Is that our destiny of yesterday

Or just a vault of lies?



But jody, look what time has done

To people who live on the run

Jody, look what time has done



Jody, all the lay-down promises

They were just a trading of scars

But I remember the wild nights;

Hey, we changed mountains into stars



Uptown, the buildings are syringes

They're all just glass and dreams

One thing about Manhattan, it's always

Just what it seems



But Jody,

Remember the part

And how we entered at the zoo

That's when I told you that the cheetah

Walked as fine as you



But jody, look what time has done

To people who live on the run

Jody, look what time has done
