[Jackie]
A book store, a fair, a music hall, park
Everywhere I went I saw her
At a circus, run-down, on the outskirts of town
We sat down and started talking
The hours stop, the days unwind
At a quarter to the best of times
In hindsight, I wish the sweet painful bliss
Of seduction had drawn out longer
‘Cause we fell in fast, fell hard, and the world spun past
Like a waltz that swept along us
The hours stop, the days unwind
At five-to the best of times
From money she came, weekends in those days
Our soirees were the wildest in town
The inspired, the mad, the thinkers, the poets
All laughed, raised a glass, and whirled past
The hours stop, the days unwind
It’s precisely now the best of times
But, times, they darken
The purges had started
On the day they came
Dorothy was taken
A book store, a fair, a music hall, park

We sat down and started talking
The hours stop, the days unwind
At a quarter to the best of times
In hindsight, I wish the sweet painful bliss
Of seduction had drawn out longer
‘Cause we fell in fast, fell hard, and the world spun past
Like a waltz that swept along us
The hours stop, the days unwind
At five-to the best of times
From money she came, weekends in those days
Our soirees were the wildest in town
The inspired, the mad, the thinkers, the poets
All laughed, raised a glass, and whirled past
The hours stop, the days unwind
It’s precisely now the best of times
But, times, they darken
The purges had started
On the day they came
Dorothy was taken
