Oh, Jessica WJ
Em C
Playing bass riffs, 1998

She's forever left
Em
In stories told
As Elizabeth, if you had only ever known
[Chorus 1]
C Am
Jessica, Jessica, Jessica, Jessica WJ
I don't know why I kept
Em
Running, and running, and running, and running, and running away
See I like you but
C Am
Jessica, Jessica, Jessica I made a mistake
Em
You wrote your number on a letter and I threw it away
(Shake, shake, shake, whoa-oa-oa)

C Am
And babble on the microphone
Em
E scorpion and a scorpio
I'm moonwalking like an Eskimo
Singing oh, oh, oh (yuh!)

Surf was down and the surf was up

Her hair stood like it was lightning struck
Em
I joined an Argentinian boxing club like
Whoa-oa-oa

C
We're going downtown, baby
That's where we want to go

I got a map and rolled down the windows
Em
She says "hey," I say "it's beautiful"
(Shake, shake, shake, whoa-oa-oa)
[Chorus 2]
C
We're going downtown, baby
That's where we want to go

I got a map and rolled down the windows

Evil Knievel jumped the fire

Now all that's left is the fall
But the feeling doesn't die
