Lyric:
Sometimes Jacks rule the realm
Can't you tell
Swimmers drown
Without a sound

A chalkboard scratching sound
Could craze the town
An emperor's clothes
Never be exposed

Took it as a compliment
Regardless what they meant
It could have been innocent
Spent, so spent

Railing against undeserved
Dangling precipitants
Raining down idiots
Always flapping in the, flapping in the wind

I took it as a compliment
No matter what they meant
Could have been belligerent
Could have been half percent

Could have been wanting
Afraid to been caught promising
Ended up taunting me

I can't change that
I can't change
I can't change that
I can't change

I'm watchin' you
Not sure what's true
Life can be so cruel
There's nothing you can do

But it fades
Only to return
I feel your eyes burn
I really am concerned

Sometimes Jacks will rule the realm
Sometimes jealousy will dwell
You can't begin to dispel
When you can not even tell

What makes me act the way I do
Why am I asking you
What makes me act the way I do
Why am I asking you
What makes me act the way I do
Why am I asking you

Sometimes Jacks will rule the realm
Sometimes jealousy will dwell
You can't begin to dispel
When you can not even tell

Sometimes Jacks will rule the realm
Sometimes jealousy will dwell
You can't begin to dispel
When you can not even tell
