Jupiter & Teardrop Songtext
von Grant Lee Buffalo

Just a girl who can′t say no
And her sweetheart on parole
Parents named her Jupiter
To bless her with a lucky soul
He's a boy who never cried
When they locked him up inside
And she nicknamed him her teardrop
For the tattoo by his eye
Now she′s sleeping in her bed
And he's sleeping in her bed
And it's Jupiter and Teardrop
And it′s Jupiter and Teardrop She divines by radio
Pushing buttons show to show
And she wonders ′bout the fate of lovers in the barrio
She forgets after a while
When she tunes in on the dial
Jackie Wilson's Lonely Teardrops
And she drives another mile
Now she′s sleeping in her bed
And he's sleeping in her bed
And it′s Jupiter and Teardrop
And it's Jupiter and Teardrop
And it′s Jupiter and Teardrop


And they want to have a child
Walk together down the aisle
But the world they live in is mean
And it's built on sheer denial
The phone ring, it's for her
"I got to see ya, Jupiter
I′m in trouble with the law
Bring my 38 caliber"
Now she′s sleeping in her bed
As she pulls the phone plug dead, dead
And it's Jupiter and Teardrop
And it′s Jupiter and Teardrop
And it's Jupiter and Teardrop
And it′s Jupiter and Teardrop
And it's Jupiter and Tear
And it′s Jupiter and Tear
