Karen Jonas - Black Jacket/Red Guitar

all-American boy
all-American girl
nothing as American as rock'n'roll

you're stumbling on whiskey
paranoid on pills
shooting out the hotel television

bring up the lights on the set
it's all an act isn't it

but you're falling apart
baby aren't you falling apart
he said
bring me a black jacket and a red guitar

from pink jersey pantsuit
to orange bottle love
to red velvet anything you want

sit down beside me
you used to hold my gaze
now you watch the world watch every move we make

bring up the lights on the stage
it's all an act anyway

but you're falling apart
baby aren't you falling apart
he said
bring me a black jacket and a red guitar

pretty girls don't cry, real men don't lie
pretty girls don't cry, real men don't lie
pretty girls don't cry, real men don't lie
pretty girls don't cry

baby aren't you falling apart
baby aren't you falling apart
you might save your career
why am I the one you're not saving here
you're falling apart
baby aren't you falling apart
he said everything's gonna be fine, baby
bring me a black jacket and a red guitar
