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