Jukebox of Bad News Lyrics

I came out a lady

On that bitter night

When the music started to sway just right

And people were dancing

To the jukebox of bad news

I was so lonesome

And I sang the blues

As the hues above were tainted, too

Yet people were dancing

To the jukebox of bad news

But for refuge and for leisure

Oh nothing lasts forever

Though the sullen make a mighty show

I feel the moon shifting

Emotion is drifting

For those who see the dove but not the crow

Darling, it's sickening

The things you profit off

How you fit emotion in a plastic box

For people to gawk at

As they slowly back away

But for freedom or for nothing

You always pay for something

And the fee ensures a mighty blow

This falsehood they're tending

Breeds doom that's impending

The haze is thinning and I've gotta go

They grab a

Penny here

A penny there

Anything that they can spare

Cause the jukebox will be there

Another day
