Amanda Palmer - 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 halfs and the half nots And when I let him in I feel my 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.....
