Song lyrics Half jack by The Dresden Dolls

Half underwater
I´m half my mother´s daughter
A fraction´s left up to dispute
The whole collection
Half off the price they´re asking
In the halfway house of ill repute

Half accidental
Half pain full instrumental
I have a lot to think about
You think they´re joking?
You have to go provoke him...
I guess it´s high time you found out

It´s half biology and half corrective surgery gone wrong
You´ll notice something funny if you hang around here for too
Long ago in some black hole before they had these pills to take it back
I´m half jill
And half jack

Two halves are equal
A cross between two evils
It´s not an enviable lot
But if you listen
You´ll learn to hear the difference
Between the halfs and the half nots

And when i let him in i feel my stitches getting sicker
I try to wash him out but like she said:the blood is thicker
I see my mother in my face
But only when i travel
I run as fast as i can run
But
Jack comes tumbling after....

And when i´m brave enough and find a clever way to kick him out
And i´m so high not even you and all your love could bring me down
On 83rd he never found the magic words to change this fact:
I´m half jill
And half jack

I´m halfway home now
Half hoping
For a showdown
Cause i´m not big enough to house this crowd
It might destroy me
But i´d sacrifice my body
If it meant i´d get the jack part OUT

See

Jack

Run.....
