[Verse 1]
Jackie knew her mother
But not her father
He left for good
After all our business
She made me breakfast
And left for good

[Chorus]
She sparkled like a diamond
The corner of her eyes all shine
Take me where your lights will lie
I told her 'bout the sugar
The kind that left your mouth so dry
I don't want to see you cross that line

[Verse 2]
Jackie knew her way
Out into the light
It wasn't right
She could be so wild now
But I don't want to wait around
Well, I could never lie

[Chorus]
She sparkled like a diamond
The corner of her eyes all shine
Take me where your lights will lie
I told her 'bout the sugar
The kind that left your mouth so dry
I don't want to see you cross that line
[Bridge]
I don't want your veil now
I'll go where I, I don't know
Taken off her Greyhound
You know she'll fight away
Fight away, right away

[Chorus]
She sparkled like a diamond
The corner of her eyes all shine
Take me where your lights will lie
You know I told her 'bout the sugar
The kind that left your mouth so dry
I don't want to see you cross that line

[Outro]
Oh, manic in the morning light
She left me with a broken mind
I don't want to see your eyes tonight
I ripped you down the borderline
With subjugated lullabies
Take me where the sun will shine tonight
After all, we said goodbye
I wrote the book for alibis
Kill the switch, it's time to cut the light
