Jenna – lyrics
Jenna leaves her shoes by the door
Stockings with the holes in them let the cold in more
Says half a prayer in the mirror
Straightens her hat, there’s no one to hear her
She goes out like a light in a storm
And her old leather jacket keeps her mostly warm
Ooh…
Jenna gets home just before the sun
Curtain ripped, window broken more work undone
Sweeps up the mess into the last
Another day, another week, another pane of glass
Ooh…
She’s the one with skin in the game
Judgement and the town have turned against her
And her friends won’t use her name
She’s the one with skin in the game
And this isolation desert makes the dangerous more dangerous to play
Jenna keeps her heart off her sleeve
Bravery on combat boots, innocence bereaved
Sundays at the church by the graveyard
Live and let live, it shouldn’t be so hard
She goes out like a light in a storm
And her old leather jacket keeps her almost warm
Ooh…
