Jackie Cane

Jackie Cane was everybody’s sugar
She gave it all wherever it took her
They used her up before the sell-by date
To be so sweet was her only mistake
The only flower
In a concrete garden
Destined to be
The rock that wouldn’t harden
Jackie Cane was everybody’s sugar
She’d melt away if only she could have
Taken for granted, abused and drained
They ran her dry and then it never rained
She was the queen
Of the 25th hour
They looked so sweet
But the after-taste was sour
Salty days
For Jackie Cane
Salty days
For Jackie Cane
Salty days
For Jackie Cane
