Jessie

Jesse, maybe I'm too far gone

The city is empty, the lights all wrong

And lately, when I conjure you

In the cigarette smoke on Park Avenue

And the tired eyes, why the masquerade?

We're all haunting the same dead parade

Haunting or just hanging around

Drunk on the dreams that bleed this town

And Jesse, it's the electricity

Between these buildings, consuming me

And your tired eyes, it's just shadows and shade

And flashes of light and a soft serenade

Ah, tired eyes, why the masquerade?

We're all haunting the same dead parade

You were the actor playing the savior

As if my faith was stronger

Like some beginner

I'll stay here until this place closes

I've buried my rivals in whiskey and roses

And I'm damned, but I'm feeling feather-light

You can wear your best dress out every night

And those tired eyes, why the masquerade?

We're all haunting the same dead parade

Ah, tired eyes, it's just shadows and shade

And flashes of light and a soft serenade

Ah, tired eyes, why the masquerade?

We're all haunting the same dead parade

Tired eyes, why the masquerade?

We're all haunting the same dead parade

We're all haunting the same dead parade
