"Jimmy The Punk" lyrics
Jimmy skipped school
They called him a weirdo
He sang to the sky
Born in São Paulo, Jimmy Geraldo
Scared of being a someone on a TV
He lived with a Tamandua in the world unseen
The birds sang in the mourning cries of the trees
"We'll fly you to the West" they said
"You can plant this seed"
The people need reminding
Jimmy agreed
Six months in New York City singing in doorways
Jimmy the bum
He sang into the sun
He spoke to a Jaguar
The Jaguar said Jimmy you gotta hold on
Then a girl appeared with cobra ears and she liked his song
She said she had a tape recorder at home
And then one take under full moon thunder
They fell in love
His hair was made of fire
Jimmy the punk
His hair was made of fire
Jimmy the punk
Jimmy skipped school but he had an honest job
Jimmy skipped school and now he's a God
They called him a weirdo
He sang to the sky
Born in São Paulo, Jimmy Geraldo
Scared of being a someone on a TV
He lived with a Tamandua in the world unseen
The birds sang in the mourning cries of the trees
"We'll fly you to the West" they said
"You can plant this seed"
The people need reminding
Jimmy agreed
Six months in New York City singing in doorways
Jimmy the bum
He sang into the sun
He spoke to a Jaguar
The Jaguar said Jimmy you gotta hold on
Then a girl appeared with cobra ears and she liked his song
She said she had a tape recorder at home
And then one take under full moon thunder
They fell in love
His hair was made of fire
Jimmy the punk
His hair was made of fire
Jimmy the punk
Jimmy skipped school but he had an honest job
Jimmy skipped school and now he's a God
