Used to see her outside the old vets hall
Holding court in the parking lot, without a care at all
So immaculately messed up, so brutally fine
Even though I never looked her in the eyes
I knew, we were two of the same kind
When Juli & The Painkillers would play
She'd say the things you knew, but never knew how to say
Underneath all the vitriol she would hurl
She was too pure for this world
With a righteous noise, a joyous rage
You could tell she'd read all the rules, ripped up every page
With a wild look in her eyes as she sang
Of a brand new dance in our own secret slang
We wrapped up in the arms of the same youth gang
When Juli & The Painkillers would play
The whole world outside could fuck off with no delay
In a cardigan and costume pearls
She was too cool for this world
And now if this town has seemed to grown too straight
A little less strange, a little too tame
I still hear her voice every now and then
Oh, she thought me how to walk like a woman
