About Jasmine

Natasha Khan for NPR: “The lyrics of this song, “Jasmine,” were about a girl — much like the heady scent of jasmine that you get in LA in the summertime that perfumes the night — but she’s a serial killer that stalks LA and kills people and buries them in iconic places, like the Hollywood Forever cemetery. So she’s one of the vampire gang, but it’s kind of a microcosmic narrative story within that idea. And she’s actually the main protagonist in the script that I’m working on at the moment. .

Jasmine Lyrics

[00:09.56] She drives hard through the doom gloom haze
[00:15.43] Legs for days and bones of pearl
[00:19.76] Her love hurtling down death's highways
[00:24.72] The hands of a killer, the heart of a little girl
[00:29.46] Jasmine you come along and take me
[00:36.96] To where I feel like a woman
[00:42.39] Coming on strong
[00:44.77] Jasmine, into the night, ni-ni-night
[00:57.06] Don't be seduced by those baby blues
[01:03.47] That secret smile when it's catching you
[01:08.16] Because little girl cuts your heart in two
[01:13.32] Sucks the juice, 'til she turns you loose
[01:18.51] Jasmine you come along and take me
[01:24.66] To where I feel like a woman
[01:30.25] Coming on strong
[01:32.88] Jasmine, into the night, ni-ni-night
[01:45.06] Into the night, ni-ni-night
[01:56.19] A body bag, on eucalyptus hills
[02:00.42] And the Hollywood forever
[02:02.39] And the endless sleeping pills
[02:05.13] No girl will ever kill your nighttime ills
[02:09.58] Like Jasmine does
[02:11.06] 'Cause when she blooms, she kills
[02:50.13]
