Birthday Party - Jennifer's Veil Lyrics
So youve come back for jenniferYou know, she hides her face behind a veilIm warning you frankie, leave on the next trainYour jennifer she just isnt the sameQuit waving that thing about! come back!Come back and give me a chance to explainYour baby will never cry again.So dont try to reach outAnd dont let the ships flag downPoint the figure-head at the stormAnd drive her hard uponDont stop and dont stopAnd dont let the veil drop(another ship ready to sail--the rigging is tightTight like jennifers veil).She drew the curtain on her faceEver since they came and burnt the old place downWhy is she searching through the ashes?Why, only jennifer knows that now.And the officer, without a word,Left all his junk and just moved out.So dont try to reach outAnd dont let the ships flag downPoint the figure-head at the glassSmash! smash! into shardsDont stop and dont touch!And dont let the veil drop...behind jennifers veilOh god! frankie! is that really you!Get back! dont reach out!Get back, and get that lantern out of my room!Dont try to reach outAnd dont let the ships flag downDown, down over her, like a shroudAnd let her sail on the sea like a stone.Dont touch and dont touchAnd dont let the veil dropAnother ship ready to dock...the rigging comes loose...
