Rock N’ Roll For Janine
©Jerry Axson

I awoke this morning from a dream she cried,
I said “Hey man!, them cats ain't’ died”,
there just frozen here in the valley of dry bones -
So she lights up a cigarette and a nation moves,
but not a word I could say would soothe -
the pain of being buried beneath these stones,
Well, I guess she’s got a lot of time on her hands,
she plays dumb so she don’t understand -
it’s easier that way...
Whatever happened to her pride and shame?,
a little makeup and it’s all the same,
there should be something more to say,

She puts her face on and she goes outside,
to take the world on one more time,
and I would love her but it’s such a strange scene...
Rock N’ Roll for Janine...

You should stay home and read a good book,
you shouldn't worry about the way your hair looks,
growing up’s a tragedy -
Latin Lovers with their mouths undone,
making love to a dying sun,
it’s not love just emotional victory -
so she breaks the glass and the mirror explodes,
neither one of us can take this load,
all we want is something less than love,
so you see the story’s still the same,
neither one of us will take the blame,
sometimes I wonder what she’s thinking of???

about

Jerry Axson Columbia, South Carolina

To me simplicity is the root of all great thoughts. The secret thrill for me, the architect, is delivering that thought with unobtrusive complexity. Writing songs and composing music satisfy my soul and because of this I know exactly what I am designed to do, it’s just that simple. - Jerry Axson ... more
