Sometimes Jacks Rule the Realm

Sometimes jacks rule the realm

Can't you tell

The swimmers drown

Without a sound

A chalkboard scratching sound

Could craze the town

An emperor's clothes

Never be exposed

I took it as a compliment

Regardless what they meant

It could have been innocent

Spent, so spent

Railing against undeserved

Dangling precipitants

Raining down idiots

Always flapping in the

Flapping in the wind

I took it as a compliment

No matter what they meant

Could have been beligerent

Could have been half percent

Could have been wanting

Afraid to have been caught promising

Ended up taunting me

I can't change that

I can't change

I can't change that

I can't change

I'm watching you

Not sure what's true

Life can be so cruel

There's nothing you can do

But it fades

Only to return

I feel your eyes burn

I really am concerned

Sometimes jacks will rule the realm

Sometimes jealousy will dwell

You can't begin to dispel

When you can not even tell

What makes me act the way I do

And why am I asking you

What makes me act the way I do

And why am I asking you

What makes me act the way I do

And why am I asking you

Sometimes jacks will rule the realm

Sometimes jealousy will dwell

You can't begin to dispel

When you can not even tell

Sometimes jacks will rule the realm

Sometimes jealousy will dwell

You can't begin to dispel

When you can not even tell
