Lyrics

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
Hey hey
Yes, I'm like Jack on fire
Hey hey
Your lips kiss Jack on fire
We're back in the Indian days
And nothing could drive the heat away
Or drive the search and murder of lost enemies
Or drive the teeth into what is never seen
And like Jack there is a heat to the fire
Like a moth detects the heat to the light
And like Jack I covet everything that is you
Because to me and you we're temporarily due
Hey hey
Yes, I'm like Jack on fire
Hey hey
Your lips kiss Jack on fire
In New Orleans at the Mardi Gras
I was dancing in a costume made of straw
Some Creole boys was lying dead
I used his blood to paint the costume red
A black and white I will apparently bring
All your nerves in hand in a ball of string
The marshes are sinking in a bright red sky
And you will make love to me tonight
Hey hey
Yes, I'm like Jack on fire
Hey hey
Your lips kiss Jack on fire
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
And bury you and kiss this hand goodbye
You'll be unhappy and we'll be sad
But it'll be understood that I am bad
One, don't you go and lie to me
'Cause every day is judgment day with me
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Ooh
I'm like Jack on fire
Hey hey
Your lips kiss Jack on fire
You sleep with Jack on fire
You eat with Jack on fire
You think like Jack on fire
And oh no, you are nothing
And oh no, you are 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 be like a Jack on fire
Oh no
You drive so deep
You drive so deep
You drive so deep
You drive so deep
