You were the first one to keep up
When time to lose was time to stop
I loved the way you watched me die
I loved that dress you wore that night

& the miracles you found
Kept with the sane deep underground
Were they the lockets for the free?
Or just the spell you worked so tightly
Over me? You & me?

& the letters that you wrote
While you safely overdosed
Were those the times you couldn't see?
Was that the answer left for me?

My little dream why did you call
If just to leave me at the wall?
Oh you ignited me, invited me

Fading out like Jimmy Dean
Message on your movie screen
Another dose of infamy
Fading out like Jimmy Dean

You were the last one on the list
Crept through the back with gentle kiss
Oh I'm not trying to complain
I can't be bleeding here again

But figure out the lesser sin
Left wit hthe doubt & those
'could-have-beens'
Oh you ignited me, invited me

Fading out like Jimmy Dean...

Oh rebel without cause
In some other prison ward
Oh just to feel your body's warmth
But Jimmy Dean waits at the door

Another rebel without cause
Stuck in some other prison ward
Oh just to feel your body's warmth
But Jimmy Dean waits at the door
