The Magazine

Rickie Lee Jones

Homeboys calling from the corners
Station to station for the Magazine
But her pages are turning out the lights in the windows
And all that you're reading is the Braille night

I can't come out and play
Paddy with the Precinct boys no more
But you and me baby, we'll be lovers again
But she's walking to the A, walking to the B,
Walking to the C now...
Where are you going?
I'm just going with him...

He could be anywhere
I don't know where he is
I know he's coming,
I know he's coming to me
It could be any day
I will know right away
I'll know he's coming, I'll know he's coming to me
I'll know he's coming, I'll know he's coming to me  now...

I don't think you know what you're doing
I don't think you know that she'll make him cry
Make my baby cry
You break my heart, Carol.

There's a flagboy calling
"Danger, watch your back now"
"Hey you, Flagboy,
Let 'em come, let 'em come,"
'Cuz I can see them there
I can see them coming
I can see it all now
'Hey you, Flagboy
Let 'em come,"

They don't know where I am
I could be anywhere
I know they're coming
I know they're coming to me
It could be any day
I will know right away
I know they're coming...
I know they're coming to me
Everything's coming
Everything's coming alive...
