Jenny III seems to be an ominous look towards the future, after she’s disappeared, coming back to see our narrator once again. Maybe the police are after her, maybe it’s just her “craving relief”.
[Verse 1]
Jenny was a warrior, Jenny was a thief
Jenny hit the corner clinic begging for relief
Never thought we'd see the day when she wiggled free
But she did long before we did
[Verse 2]
Nights in crackling emerald, signal hot and light
Fastest in production as of 1985
Didn’t guess we'd ever come to dread that engine's roar
But she did long before we did
[Bridge]
Nobody will ever know for certain
The names of all the secrets
She held back behind the curtain
[Verse 3]
Jenny came to get me, she’d been gone for several years
Aging motorcycles purr like cats when they draw near
And I was crying, I could barely make the frame out through my tears
She did long before we did
[Refrain]
She did long before we did
Jenny, you did long before I did
Jenny III was written by John Darnielle.
