Her eyes were green, her skin glistened
Talk all you want to, she never listens
She'll love for an instant but
How quickly she forgets
And as she drove away
She was listening to Bennie and the Jets
To Bennie and the Jets

She'll walk by your window
You'll only catch a glimpse
She'll disappear like vapor
And leave a trail of hints

But all you'll really capture is
That feeling in your chest
And as she drove away
She was listening to Bennie and the Jets
To Bennie and the Jets

She's the Poet's nightmare
She'll sink into your soul
She'll absorb your passion and
Turn it into coal

Well, I ain't no poet but I'll
Try like all the rest
I remember as she drove away
She was listening to Bennie and the Jets
To Benny and the Jets
