Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Jody wears a hat although it hasn't rained for six days
And she says that a girl needs a gun these days
On a cannon full of rattlesnakes
She looks like Yves-Marie's song in "On the Waterfront"
As she reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance
ย
Ooh, she is less than sure if the heart has come to stay in San Jose
And her neverborn child still haunts
Her as she speeds down the freeway
As she tries her luck with the traffic
Police out of boredom and morbid spite
She never finds no trouble 'cause she tries
Too hard, she's obvious despite herself
She looks like Yves-Marie's song in "On the Waterfront"
She says all she needs is therapy
Now all you need is love is all you need
ย
Jody never sleeps 'cause there are always needles in the hay
And she says that a girl needs a gun on a cannon full of rattlesnakes
She looks like Yves-Marie's song in "On the Waterfront"
As she reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance
Her heart, heart's like crazy paving, upside down and back to front
She says, "Ooh, it's so hard to love
When love was your great disappointment"
ย
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Life is never kind
