lyrics

She smokes a cigarette in Myrtle’s black ford,
Slowly draws it in.
Thinks of tuxedo shirts and gliding around
in the arms of her men, of her men.

She feels the velvet as she rolls up her sleeve.
She should be rolling into bed.
She hears the rain on top of Myrtle’s black ford.
Bluest river in her head, in her head

And as the world moves on and marches along
she hears the Jersey Crawl Out there in the wind
But a dream is just a waste
So she gets out of the car
Now she’s taking off her clothes
Dancing in the rain, in the rain.

The rain is running down the bone of her neck
She feels it soaking through her sleeve
The rain is running down the flesh of her back
and Effamira’s shaken free, shaken free

And Myrtle stays behind the wheel of her car
All of her finery is gone
She holds her key and watches her friend
In the muddy dawn, in the dawn

And as the world moves on and marches along
Effamira does the Crawl out there in the wind
she knows its useless to explain
it’s the end of this long night.
so she gets back in the car
and thinks about the rain, about the rain
