She was born in Italy
precious heiress to the family crown
in a castle down in Sicily
she learned to fear the Lord on hallowed ground
but she never really liked it much
so one day she blew that castle up and fled
traveled west in a ragged dress
looking for a place to rest her head
I was working in an old hotel
hated every second of that scene
like a captive in a beatdown cell
stuck between reality and dreams
I was dreaming that a nymph in lace
would come into this wretched place and take me
by the hand to a magic land and save me
she found herself disspossed
halfway to the brink of lunacy
and her fragile heart became distressed
when she saw just how cruel life could be
she was just a baby
working the streets to stay alive
though it nearly drove her crazy
she kept her clients satisfied
I was sulking in self pity
sitting home alone in the dark
examing the misery
a worn out mind can tend to spark
and I don't know just when I left
but I headed west by candlight
didn't know just where to go
but I knew I had to roll that night
I saw her in the doorway
at a party inside the tailor's barn
and I thought for surely
I could win her over with my charm
vut I was wasted on the burgundy
not sure if she heard me when I cried
pain is just a precious art
and the canvas is my broken hearted pride
well we spent the night in Jasmin's room
to drunk move our heads
and as the world was spinning
we made love on top of Jasmin's bed
the autumn moon was glowing
and her sticky stream was flowing with stuff
that makes the honeybee's envious
a constant flow of pureness and a thrust
she was gone by morning
took my coat and wallet with her
I saw the storm clouds forming
so I headed straight for the liquor
another day to piss away
nothing new to me
I'll cry myself to sleep tonight
and somewhere I'm sure, so will she
