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
