Jack
Jack
[Verse 1]
The stars that lined the skies
Shown so bright on us
They watched while we danced beneath their light
And the sweet smell of lilacs filled the air
They made you feel without a care
But I see through you
Perhaps more than you do
Enough to know who you really are
You're the man who doesn't cry
[Verse 2]
The very handsome smell of whiskey stains your breath
It gives you peace because you have nothing left
And you don't really mind to have much more than that
Because to give it up would bring the nightmares back
But I see through you
Much more than you do
Enough to know who you really are
You're the man who wants to die
You're the man who wants to die
Just close your eyes and then
Lay hands on my flesh again
Pretend to be stronger than you really are
I'll raise my glass and then
Give toast to my handsome man whose best friend is
His bottle of Jack
Hell, I'll drink to that
As I watch him die
