Ooh, Jackie

(Virgo, Summer Fades to Black)

Jackie, Jackie baby, no need to brood--
For psychic sex, you know I'm always here for you.
On the other plane, we are each other's kind;
Sometimes I want to jump your frame of mind.
But why so quiet, baby? My cell phone never rings;
Though in my head, we're doing nasty things.
You don't get out much--haven't left Brooklyn in a while.
But you can e-mail me your JPEG file.

Ooh-hoo, Jackie Blue
Lives her life from inside of a room
Hides that smile when she's wearin' a frown
Ooh Jackie, you're not so down

You like your life in a free-form style
You'll take an inch but you'd love a mile
There never seems to be quite enough
Floating around to fill your lovin' cup

So, Jackie, tell me, where did you go today?
No, I'm not talkin' 'bout Netscape, or software on the way.
I have to go to Kinko's, to download you like a file;
But you know it's worth it, just to see your smile.
The words you send me, made of tubes and light,
Speak only of darkness and your room at night.
I wish I were there, Jackie, with my arms around you;
But while we were apart, I was human too.

Ooh-hoo, Jackie Blue
Makin' wishes that never come true
Goin' places where you've never been
Ooh Jackie, you're goin' again.

Jackie, Jackie baby, no need to brood--
For psychic sex, you know I'm always in the mood.
On the other plane, we are each other's kind;
Sometimes I want to jump your frame of mind.
My psychic baby, you send me energy,
Knowing that it triggers some response in me.
I wish you loved me, could surround me like a storm;
But it's too much to ask of you in bodily form.

Ooh-hoo, Jackie Blue
Ooh-hoo, Jackie Blue
Lives her life from inside of a room
Makes you think that her life is a drag
Ooh Jackie, what fun you have had
Ooh Jackie
Ooh Jackie
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Ooh, Jackie....
Jackie, Jackie, baby....
