Half Jack Lyrics - Dresden Dolls - The Dresden Dolls

Half underwater, I'm half my mother's daughter 

A fraction's left up to dispute 

The whole collection, half of the price they're asking 

In the halfway house of ill repute 

Half accidental, half painful 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 knots 

When I let him, when I feel the stitches getting sicker 

I try to wash him out but like they say, '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, see Jack 

See Jack, run Jack, run Jack, see Jack 

See Jack, run Jack, run Jack, see Jack 

See Jack, run Jack, run Jack, run Jack, run
