lyrics

Jenny told a joke about a suicide.
She never wrote a note.
She never got a vote
For exposing all of the feelings that she couldn’t hide.
She sang it like a song only wants to move along with her life.

Jenny got rich selling bags of vitamins.
She never ate a one.
Never went out in the sun.
She just counted all her sins out into cookie tins.
She never lost control.
She never told a soul what’s in her mind.

When she said she’d never lived,
She knew life was such a gift.
But oh it wouldn’t do…
No not for her.
The people wouldn’t pray before
The one that they should so adore.
Just let them eat their cake.

Johnny followed Jenny on his bicycle.
Thought her a superstar
Keeping hearts inside a jar.
For her to love him... it would be a miracle.
Knew she was undersold.
He saw that there was gold there in her eyes.

Heaven knows we’re heaven sent…
Heaven knows we’re heaven sent…

When she said she’d never lived,
She knew life was such a gift.
But oh it wouldn’t do…
No not for her.
The people wouldn’t pray before
The one that they should so adore.
Just let them eat their cake.

The Daylilies Massachusetts

The Daylilies are a new band composed of living relics of Boston rock and roll history, including ex-members of the Fast Easy Women, Mistle Thrush, Reverse, PermaFrost & the Feather Lungs. Their sound can most easily be described as “pop,” though electronic rock, post-grunge and new wave are also frequently accurate. Triangulation finds their sound somewhere between Garbage, The Cars and Low. ... more
