Chorus:
2
Repeat these three lines three times
3
Jack talked
4
Jack talked like
5
Jack talked like a man on fire
6
(Man on fire!)
7
Jack talked like a man on fire and his eyes moved like two shiny steel ball bearings
8
And when they moved the ground beneath him shook and split open
9
No one got too close to Jack but Jack never got too close anyway
10
And when he dreamed, his ears drooled thirty-weight engine oil
11
He took personality tests
12
And stapled them to his lower lip
13
No one ever came out on a visit with Jack
14
But Jack never visited anybody anyway
15
Chorus repeat
16
Jack made false contributions to charity telethons
17
Jack made crank phone calls to elected officials
18
His arms shook and his legs twitched and his tongue darted out of his mouth every few seconds
19
And when it did it touched the tip of his nose
20
And when it touched the tip of his nose
21
He yelled out as loud as he could
22
"I have artistic sensibility,
23
I am a damn good risk,
24
I am the messenger and here is the message"
