Juke Box Fury Lyrics
Rickie Lee Jones
Polly and I went to the circus
Polly got hit with a rolling pin
We got even with the circus
We bought tickets but we didnt go in...
You wont like it here
When I first take you,
Hes in the back doing his father oriley for the cops.
But youll like woody
(hes hiding in the shed)
And were going with him
I told my brother...
When the police come
Dont say nothing
Dont say nothing
And the police will go
Cuz they dont like it
When you beat them to the punch,
They dont like it
When you come in on a hunch.
And Ive seen more dreams
Riding on his eyes,
Than a sure thing like
The starry skies,
And youll like it when you find out what hes got
In the backyard,
By the parking lot.
Hey baby, youre my favorite boy,
I think about you all the time.
And this garbage that you still employ,
Do they really pay for every line?
For the juke box fury
Pounding in your soul,
Juke box fury tells them where to go,
Juke box fury pounding in your head,
Juke box fury every vvord we said when
We were younger
And they hurt us so,
But you never know...
You got a juke box.
You can make it even.
Look, I dont like it here.
This is trouble.
That guy keeps gettinup.
That girl keeps goinover to the phone
Im going to talk to them
(you just watch me)
Im going to tell them;
i think you two look like youre ready to go..
Put your foot right here.
Dyou get it down all right, dear?
Well, put your foot right here...
Here, baby,
Youre the one for me.
This must be paradise.
Shes never where you think shell be,
But dont worry about it
Cuz the juke box furys
Pounding in your soul
Juke box fury knows where to go
Juke box fury pounding in vour head
Juke box fury every word we said
When we vvere younger
And they hurt us so
But you never knovv...
You dont knovv vvhat youve got,
You can make it even!
You got a juke box!
You can make it even...
