The Dresden Dolls - Half Jack lyrics

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 halves and the half nots

and when i let him in i feel the 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

jack

run

jack.....
