Jackson

Jackson was an actor At least he was when he was well Stephanie was good to me but not so much to herself We were holed up in a hotel room from August to November It was Jackson, me, and Stephanie The rest I don't remember Stephanie appeared to me in the back half of the theater We met up with Jackson on the strand a few days later We pooled our funds and made a run We were foolproof when it counted It was Jackson, me, and Stephanie And it didn't seem all that crowded Now why you asking about Jackson? It was a long time ago and nothing really happened Why you asking about Jackson? Jackson just got restless Couldn't take the lack of action He was sort of like a shark He just had to keep on swimming And the sailors kept on coming off the boats down at the harbor It was difficult to stop It was easy to get started Stephanie came on strong but suddenly went weak She seemed a little speedy and her tongue worked at her teeth The sirens came behind us It was a bit be fore we heard it It was Jackson, me and Stephanie And for a while it felt just perfect Now why you asking about Jackson? It was a long time ago and nothing really happened Someone said he ended up in Denver Someone said he went to Kansas City Someone said he went off the deep end Some said he was living there already One day Jackson just didn't show up to the party One day Jackson just didn't show up to the party Stephanie was long on looks and short on mental health She said depression is an ocean and it's prone to tides and swells Anxiety's persistent It's an ambitious politician It keeps knocking on your door Until you come and let it in I think that Jackson let it in I think Jackson let it in
