Well she came round here and nobody could speak her name 
And she talked in circles like she needed someone else to blame 
And everybody prayed she would go back from where she came 

The sun didn't shine and for forty days all it did was rain
 Well the lights burned out, and the circus they got out of town
 And the priest's last rites were the only words that could be found
 The loverboys couldn't tell the time 'cause the phones were down
 The poets couldn't find the words to describe the sound

 Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
 Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
 Came, she saw, she made them cry
 Lost their hearts but don't know why

 Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
 Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
 Spoke the words and begged to die
 Sold her dream for you and I

 Well the good girls danced with the devil in the open yard
 (Jeannie, Jeannie, oh Jeannie, Jeannie)
 But the blood from their thighs was the only thing that made him hard
 (Jeannie, Jeannie, oh Jeannie, Jeannie)
 She couldn't read the signs on the wall where they had her scar
 She was the one time lover of a victim of the oven car
 Well it was said she was raised by the praise of a furious man
 (Jeannie, Jeannie, oh Jeannie, Jeannie)
 But she couldn't tell you how or when that it all began
 (Jeannie, Jeannie, oh Jeannie, Jeannie)
 woman has to feel alive any way she can
 She don't plead dumb or pretend that she don't understand

 Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
 Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
 Came, she saw, she made them cry
 Lost their hearts but don't know why

 Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
 Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
 Spoke the words and begged to die
 Sold her dream for you and I

 Well she came round here and nobody could speak her name
 And she talked in circles like she needed someone else to blame
 And everybody prayed she would go back from where she came
 The sun didn't shine and for forty days all it did was rain

 Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
 Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
 Came, she saw, she made them cry
 Lost their hearts but don't know why

 Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
 Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie Nitro
 Spoke the words and begged to die
 Sold her dream for you and I
