Joe Jackson - Jack, You're Dead Lyrics
When you got no more assuranceThan a great big hunk o leadIf you dont respond to romanceJack, youre deadWhen a chick is smilin at youEven though theres nothin saidYou stand there like a statueJack, youre deadYou been always kickinBut you stubbed your toesWhen you ups and kicks the bucketJust like ole man moseWhen you get no kicks from lovinAnd you blow your top insteadIts a fact that you aint livinJack, youre deadWhen you just aint got nobodySince you gone and lost your headRigor mortis has set in, daddyJack, youre deadWhats the use of havin musclesIf your life hangs by a threadIf you aint got no red corpusclesJack, youre deadYou been always kickinBut you stubbed your toesWhen you ups and kicks the bucketJust like ole man moseWhen you get no kicks from lovinAnd the news begins to spreadAll the cats will holler murderJack, youre deadAll the breath has leaked out of youIf your friends gather round the bedAnd look at you and say mm mm, dont he look natural?When that happens to you, daddy jack, youre dead
