Secretly Joan whispers on the phone / Glued to that thing / When she's home alone / And through her strange days of filling ash trays / Her high school friends were secretly gay / And when JFK died / American cried / But Joanie just lied at the beach / She got drunk at the mall / With her ex-boyfriend Paul / Made out in the changing stall in Macy's / The Vietnam War and her grocery store / Couldn't mean any less on a packed dance floor / Joanie wants to kiss a man with a gun in his hands / She's tired of the horses / She's sick of the sand / Her friends draped up in lace couldn't make it anywhere but this place / Neckin' in a line of Chevrolets / Outside a bar / It's a sweet seventeen for a disappearing queen / Her youth is vanishing / Au revoir / Tonight she saw her Mom Cry through the windows outside / Her childhood fried like tar / And then Joanie saw him come in / A black leather jacket / He split the lines up and snorted / A bright white substance / And they began to dance / He took off her pants / An eternal trance / In love in Paris, France! / She's not a kid anymore / She's not a kid anymore / She through that shit in a drawer / Now she gets the spins and throws up on everythin' / And passes out leanin' on the front door / And she'll wake up to the sound / Of her head hitting the ground / And she'll wake up to the sound / Of her head hitting the ground
