Firewalker Lyrics - Twelve Bars Past Midnight - Rickie Lee Jones

Julie got some ecstasy 

She laid down on the steering wheel 

Love comes to the first thing love sees 

Love comes to the first thing 

That makes it real, makes it real 

Everybody's been hit, everybody's been hurt 

Everybody's been kicked, everybody's been dirt 

Everybody had to drive all night 

To reach L.A. in the morning light 

Try to lighten up, want to back you up 

But you just back down 

Julie got some brown girlfriend, got it for a coin 

Landlord threw her clothes out 

On the street in the tenderloin 

Everybody's been a dog, everybody's had to beg 

Everybody's been a moth, been a moth 

When she woke up on her knees 

Everybody made her say please 

I was in a wild place where I go, I couldn't hear you 

Julie found God in a bus station and she liked it a lot 

You put your money in the basket that comes 

You remember the first one that you bought 

Everybody starts out pure, starts out ridiculous 

Starts out beautiful, nobody wants to be alone 

Out here I'm all on my own 

I try to lighten up, I always bear down 

I want to back you up 

Julie found a sailor boy 

Sailed off to the deep blue sea 

So Firewalker you can walk on me 

Walk on me
