about

It's been a long time since the last record. Where has Her Radio Plastic Battle Royal Highness been hiding? Jean Luc, Julia and Jesus want to know.

lyrics

Johnny Luke is spooked cuz good 'n plenty Jenny
don't come around here no more
He brings his camera to the open mic Wednesday night,
he wanna get inside her drawers
He's still using film and the kids are all laughing
but they're so easy to ignore
He peers inside the viewfinder
but she never comes through the door

Julia say she saw Jennifer
corner of Albany and Steuben
Jive icky bicky sticky sticky to the icky
if she's tricky turning tricks again
Jennifer swears she ain't been around town,
she's been traveling all over the world
You can take the girl out of Schenectady
but you can't get it out of the girl

Red and white blue neglige
and six-inch high heel shoes
If you see her, she's a runaway.
She's the muse.

Sweet delicious Jen, where the hell you been?
I just can't drink you off my mind.
It really hurts my head just thinking 'bout your legs,
Your behind is almost as fine as mine.
Jennifer I'm dying. Where have you been hidin'?
I really wanna be your man.
I know you really love me, more than just a junkie.
More than just a one night stand.

You're me. You're mine.

Jesus say he saw Jennifer
tryin' to wash sticky blood off her hands
Lady Mac knick knack paddy whack
same name try to blame it on her man
Lady Mac? That's whack! Othello is her fellow.
She's down with Desdemona, ya know.
But if she sees her man with a pillow in his hands
She'll take him out like Cleopatra Jones!

Red and white blue neglige
and six-inch high heel shoes
If you see her, she's a runaway.
She's the muse.
Neglige by Betsy Ross
and six-inch high heel shoes
If you see her, she's lost.
She's the muse.

She's the muse. Radiator tatoos.

We want our black music funky
But Uncle Tom is just a junky
Strung out in heaven's high...
