Jim Caroll - Jody Lyrics
Jody, what you been doing?Its been a long, long timeSince we went dancing in the schoolyard,With your breasts like bleeding limesJody, are you still hanging with that latin?With rabbit fur inside his wheels?With his gilbert roland piece,And his glove department dealsUptown, we watched the debutantes skatingAcross the reservoir iceDressed in tweed and leather flags . . .And you whispered six words twiceJody, look what time has doneTo people who live on the runJody, look what time has doneJody, I spent years living at the moviesI really hated you awhileI wrote so many incantationsLord, I had to keep a file . . . you saidUptown . . . and I said, downtown.Downtown the rooftops are wideI was sinking in the tar, I screamed,This city is on my sideJody, go to any window;Raise your eyes up to the sky . . .Is that our destiny of yesterdayOr just a vault of lies?But jody, look what time has doneTo people who live on the runJody, look what time has doneJody, all the lay-down promisesThey were just a trading of scarsBut I remember the wild nights;Hey, we changed mountains into starsUptown, the buildings are syringesTheyre all just glass and dreamsOne thing about manhattan, its alwaysJust what it seemsBut jody,Remember the partAnd how we entered at the zooThats when I told you that the cheetahWalked as fine as youBut jody, look what time has doneTo people who live on the runJody, look what time has done
