Tekst piosenki

In Louisian’ where swamp is land and cotton falls like snow

Where alligators slink, mosquitos drink, and wild things love to grow

It was past midnight, I had one headlight and my gas pedal on the floor

I was tired of watching clocks, taking hard knocks, and locking my dreams in a drawer


Up ahead in the night a deer took flight as warm rain started to fall

Heard my tires squeal as I jerked the wheel and drove straight into an oak tree wall

My head in a daze, I escaped through a maze of busted steel and glass

In silk pantyhose with holes in the toes, I started running through the tall wet grass


CHORUS

I saw a house all alone, as bare as a bone, like someone had thrown it away

It reeked of smoke and neglect that choked memories of a better day

I stood at the door, soaked to my core and feeling just a little insane

When the door opened wide, a man stood inside and said come in out of the rain

Come in out of the rain


His eyes were dark like the eyes of a shark, his face was neither young nor old

I paused for a beat before moving my feet and crossing that wide threshold

It was a summer night and a fire burned bright, but I began to shiver and shake

He gave me a coat of fur, a smile demur, and a plate full of devil’s food cake


He sat down on a chair like a lion in his lair and lit up a thin cigar

With an air of conceit, reached down by his feet and picked up a red guitar

He ran his hand down the strings like his fingers were wings and a strange silence fell

He said this is my story my life and my glory, this is my sweet Jezebel


CHORUS

Jezebel was slim with ebony trim, and I stared in wonder and awe

Her neck was inlaid with pearl and jade, and I couldn’t find one single flaw

He started to play, and I started to pray as that fire burned hotter than hell

And I could feel a hole burning clear through my soul as I listened to sweet Jezebel

I listened to sweet Jezebel


She sang about sin and places she’d been, and I found myself lost in her spell

Murder and lies, deceit and disguise, was the song of sweet Jezebel

Like a siren of the sea she sang it to me, and each note was calling my name

And the harder I fought, the closer I got, to standing in that red-hot flame


CHORUS

A faint morning glow, through a dusty window, washed over me like a flood

And the song of a sparrow came straight as an arrow through that guitar red as blood

There was fear and surprise in those cold shark eyes as I reached for sweet Jezebel

And the flames leapt higher as straight into the fire I threw that guitar back to hell

Threw that guitar back to hell


An unholy scream cut through my dream, and I woke with my head on the dash

My car smelled of smoke from the rain that had choked the fire that flamed from the crash

I jumped from my seat away from that heat and kneeled on that rain-soaked ground

I prayed till I cried, till the fear in my died, and on that lonely road I was found


Never again will I be taken in by a stranger in the night

I take the path narrow and the song of a sparrow leads me straight into the arms of the light

But sometimes in the dark I see the eyes of a shark, and I’m lost in a dream for a spell

Before I can wake, I eat devil’s food cake and hear again sweet Jezebel

Hear again sweet Jezebel
