lyrics

Janey Got Straight

Janey got straight 'cause she ain't a crook
she didn't really know what she wants
but she took all her pills and it was all her own will
she gained two lives
a knife and a smock
she lived in her smock and went over the top
stealing her best friend's cash
Janey got straight she could hardly wait
to sell her deposit box stash.

Janey got straight she couldn't tolerate
the boogey man knocking at her door
she got some good juice
and burnt herself when her spoons
fell and started fire to her drawers
she couldn't quite fit
with the crowd full of shits
who gambled with her money all the time
Janey got straight and she got a nice mate
yuppie Eugene living on daddy's dimes.

Janey had a nice little alibi
for her new lover Eugene genius man
she said she'd been straight since before she was eight
and she never met the hungry boogie man
Eugene believed he was not being deceived
although she looked gaunt and unkempt
she traded her stash for some good honest cash
bought a golden ring and placed a few bets
a golden ring and placed a few bets.
