Jeremy Ivey Gina The Tramp
[Verse 1]
I walk on the left side of the road now
I cross the street when I see a light out
In the downtown abstract artifacts
Some pimp in the alley wants a handout
He looks at me in the dull, dark night
With his red eyes, sheep suit, and cane
Telling me nothing I don't know already
Like smoke from the sewers in the rain
Like smoke from the sewers in the rain
[Verse 2]
I'm a well-dressed advertisement
For a company that closed its doors
Yeah, there used to be a revolution
On the corner of 14th and 4th
Now it's just a campaign of sadness
Between the buildings and the beggar's trash
I don't know what I saw in this city
But my mind is changing me fast
Yeah, my mind is changing me fast
[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 3]
I got some friends that are coming tonight
Yeah, the band's been sounding real good
I guess it's good to be back in my hometown
No one feels at home in this neighborhood
Do you remember Gina the tramp?
She made dreamcatchers out of old guitar strings
Sold 'em to all the Adderall truckers
Pouring in from Colorado Springs
Yeah, she thought they were all highway kings
[Verse 4]
And it was just some random night
At the Waffle House by the cemetery
Robo trippers, candy flippers
Hooking up with the apothecary
And the cops pulled a gun on a kid
I guess his car must've smelled like pot
They found a pipe in his glove compartment
Cuffed the black kid in the parking lot
Cuffed the black kid in the parking lot
[Verse 5]
Yeah, Gina was watching from the window
Behind a cigarette and smeared mascara
Her eyes were like a cold bus station
We spent that night with Jake and Sarah
And I always think about it
When I come back here, it's true
I wonder how you can miss somebody
That you never even knew
That you never even knew
[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 6]
I walk on the left side of the road now
I got a rattlesnake around my neck
And I'm a different person every day
But I've earned my self-respect
There's no moral and there's no story
Just a busted out marquee light
In a world full of broken people
Where Gina's nowhere in sight
Yeah, Gina's nowhere in sight
[Chorus 2]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
