lyrics

Cocayne Jayne, she took my money
She took my acid and she took my clothes
She got her name from ridin' beaches
And pickin' fools on an L.A. roll
She brought a toothless cat to the table
Drowned my garden in a sea of gin
Left me wild, seasick, and lazy
And asked me if I'd ever love her again
And when the stars come out of the sky,
She sits for hours on an alibi

Little wolf, you sucked on his fingers
And built a castle for his ankles and toes
You bought a ticket for the ride of the season
And sat alone while your mind struck a pose
I asked you once under the table
If you loved me like you ever loved him
In keener eyes I've seen deception
But didn't let it get to me when he walked in
Fear took hold and they cut out the lights
And the preacher asked me if I wanted to fight

Cocayne Jayne, she burned my house down
I tried to find quiet where the river flows
If I ain't home by half past seven,
Break all my dishes and burn all my clothes
Don't look for me in the morning
Don't look for me in the night
And if she ever comes lookin' for me,
Tell her I left on the Dutch Delight
Smoke filled my cabin as I lay asleep
And they never did pull my head from the deep
