King Crimson Lyrics for Song: Jack, You're Dead
 Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - King Crimson
 
 
 
 4190>When you've got no more assurance
 
 Than a great big hunk of lead
 
 If you don't respond to romance
 
 Jack, you're dead!
 
 
 
 When a chick is smiling at you
 
 Even though there's nothing said
 
 If you stand there like a statue
 
 Jack, you're dead!
 
 
 
 You've been always kicking
 
 But you stubbed your toes
 
 When you ups and kicks the bucket
 
 Just like old man mose
 
 
 
 When you get no kicks from loving
 
 And you blow your top instead
 
 It's a fact that you ain't living
 
 Jack, you're dead!
 
 
 
 If you just ain't got nobody
 
 Since you've gone and lost your head
 
 Rigor mortis has set in daddy
 
 Jack, you're dead!
 
 
 
 What's the use of having muscles
 
 When your life hangs by a thread
 
 If you ain't got no red corpuscles
 
 Jack, you're dead!
 
 You've been always kicking
 
 But you stubbed your toes
 
 When you ups and kicks the bucket
 
 Just like old man mose
 
 
 
 When you get no kicks from loving
 
 And the news begins to spread
 
 All the cats will holler, "murder!"
 
 Jack, you're dead!
 
 All the breaths leaked out of you
 
 When your friends gather round the bed
 
 And look at you and say, "um, um, um, don't he look natural"
 
 When that happens to you, daddy
 
 Jack, you're dead!
 
 4190>
