lyrics

1.
Her therapist, is an existentialist
Well versed in Jungian analysis

2.
She predicts Jenny’s future moods
And places sutures on her mental wounds

(Narrator)
She encouraged Jenny to talk freely. She'd never talked freely before.

And so she began...

(Jenny)
I've never seen a James bond movie
But I'm aware of the chronology

I get bored easily

Never had a male role model

The ceiling fan in my bedroom kinda scares me

I have a need to control my environment
And I overthink everything

I eat breakfast every night before I go to sleep

I once asked my mother to buy me a sketch pad and a pencil
So I could draw a big triangle.
It was my first three way... but not my last.
I have a chequered past.

I spent some time in prison back in 1985.
I was marching for the legalisation of marijuana in Atlanta, Georgia.
Sentenced to a seven year stretch. I ended up serving three.

I grew up in a violent room.
I don't want to talk about that right now
Maybe I'll open up down the line.

I made a record in the nineties
At the dawn of the Gulf war
At the record company's request I had to change the title
I don't know what for
They said it was something to do with sensitivity.
Fuck sensitivity
Fuck…
…sensitivity

(Narrator)
She continued:

(Jenny)
Later on
When I slipped on my own individuality
They staged an intervention
And talked about the foreshadowing early on in my biography.
The exact moment that predicted
When and how I would lose my identity.

The journalists twisted my words.
They always do

(Narrator)
Two years of intense therapy
Changed Jenny's psyche
And after the longest time
After the years of depression and anxiety
She once again began to sing

(Jenny)
Save the bees…. Save the bees.
