Lyrics

Jacky's only happy when she's up on the stage
I make this claim, now let me explain
since she lost you
Jacky's only happy when she's up on the stage
free in the truth of make-believe
since she lost you
she is determined to prove
how she can fill up the page
of every lost and lonely day
Jacky's only happy when she's up on the stage
she'll make you believe what you would never believe
since she lost you
Jacky's only Jacky when she's up on the stage
living bodies that actually move!
since she lost you
she is determined to prove
how she can fill up the page
Of every lost and lonely day
"Cue lights! I am singing to my lover at night!
Scene Two: Everyone who comes must go!
Scene Four: Blacker than ever before!
Scene Six: This country is making me sick!"
Jacky cracks when she isn't on stage
see the effects of sexual neglect!
no script, no crew, no auto-cue
no audience telling her what to do!
exit, exit
everybody's heading for the exit
exit, exit
everybody's running for the exit.
