[Verse 1]
Julie got some ecstasy, she laid down on a steering wheel
'Cause 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
Wanna back you up but you just back down
[Verse 2]
Ah, Julie got some brown, girlfriend, got it for a coin
Landlord threw her clothes out on the street in a 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
[Verse 3]
Julie found God in a bus station, and she liked it a lot
Ah, you put your money in the basket that comes
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 wanna back you up
[Outro]
Julie found a sailor boy, sailed off to the deep blue sea
So firewalker, walk on me
Walk on me, walk on me
Walk on me
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
