Lyrics

[Verse 1] I am like Jack, I am from southern land I'm holding your happiness in my hand The sun behind me is a sexual red And all your bounty-hunting ghosts are dead I am like Jack and I tell you this I will be your lover and exorcist In the stillness of the mosquito sunset You will make love to me to your very best [Chorus] Hey, hey, I'm like Jack on fire Hey, hey, your lips kiss Jack on fire [Verse 2] Way back in the Indian days Nothing could drive the heat away Drive the search and murder of lost enemies Drive deep into what is never seen And like Jack, there is a heat to the fight Like a moth detects a heat to the light And like Jack, I covet everything that is you Because, the heat in you will temporarily do [Chorus] Hey, hey, I'm like Jack on fire Hey, hey, your lips kiss Jack on fire [Verse 3] In New Orleans at the Mardi Gras I was dancing in a costume made of straw Some Creole boy was a-lying dead I used his blood to paint my costume red A-black and white, I will abandon brain For your nerves in hand and a ball of string The marshes are sinking in a bright red sky And you will make love to me tonight [Chorus] Hey, hey, yes, I'm like Jack on fire Hey, hey, your lips kiss Jack on fire [Verse 4] And when you fall in love with me We can dig a hole by the willow tree Then, I will fuck you until you die Bury you and kiss this town goodbye It will be unhappy, it will be sad But, it will be understood that I am bad So don't you go and lie to me 'Cause everyday is judgement day with me [Chorus] Hey, hey, hey, hey, ooh I'm like Jack on fire Hey, hey, your lips kiss Jack on Fire [Outro] You sleep with Jack on fire You eat me, Jack on fire You think like Jack on fire Oh no, you are nothing Oh no, you are a-nothing You will eat like a Jack on fire You will dream like a Jack on fire And you will think like a Jack on fire And you will feel like a Jack on fire Oh no, you drive so deep (Jack on fire, Jack on fire) Drive so deep, drive so deep (Jack on fire, Jack on fire) Deep (Jack on fire, Jack on fire) Jack, Jack on, Jack, Jack on, Jack on Fire Jack, Jack on, Jack, Jack on, Jack on Fire Jack, Jack on, Jack, Jack on, Jack on Fire Jack, Jack on, Jack, Jack on, Jack on Fire
