Jack Talked (like A Man On Fire) Lyrics

Jack Talked (like A Man On Fire)

CHORUS
Jack talked, Jack talked like
Jack talked like a man on
fire
Jack talked, Jack talked like
Jack talked like a man on fire
Jack
talked like a man on fire
And his eyes looked like two shiny steel ball
berrings
And when he moved the ground beneath him shook and split open
No
one got too close to Jack
Jack never got too close anyway
And when he
dreamed his ears drolled
Thirty weight engine oil
He took personality
tests
And stapled them to his lower lip
no one ever came over to visit
with Jack
Jack never visited anybody anyway
CHORUS
Jack made false
contributions
To charity telethons
Jack made prank phone calls
To
elected officials
His arms shook and his legs twitched
And his tongue
dart out of
His mouth every few seconds
And when it did
It touched the
tip of his nose
And when it touched the tip of his nose
He yelled out as
loud as he could
"I have artistic sensibility,
I am a damn good
risk,
I am  the messenger and
Here is the
message."
CHORUS
