SCENE EIGHT
LUCILLE HAS MESSED MY MIND UP

JOE is so disoriented by his disease, he goes in the
other room and plays the title cut from an old
Jeff Simmons album, and sings along with it.


JOE:
Lucille

But I still love her
Oh I still love her
Lucille

But I still love her
Oh I still love her
Lucille

Lucille
Has tore my heart up
But I still love her

Lucille
Has tore my heart up
But I still need her
You know I need her

She treats me like my heart
Is made of stone
She runs around
And leaves me home
All alone

When I call her on the phone
She messed up my mind
I'm cryin' alia the time

Lucille
Has messed my mind
