Jackie Cane

Jackie Cane was everybody's sugar

She gave it all wherever it took her

They used her up before the sell-by date

To be so sweet was her only mistake

The only flower in a concrete garden

Destined to be the rock that wouldn't harden

Jackie Cane was everybody's sugar

She'd melt away if only she could of

Taken for granted

Abused and drained

They ran her dry and

Then it never rained

She was the queen

Of the 25th hour

They looked so sweet

But the after-taste was sour

Salty days for Jackie Cane
