Sometimes Jacks rule the realm   Can't you tell   Swimmers drown   Without a sound      A chalkboard scratching sound   Could craze the town   An emperor's clothes   Never be exposed      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 belligerent   Could have been half percent      Could have been wanting   Afraid to 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 watchin' 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   Why am I asking you   What makes me act the way I do   Why am I asking you   What makes me act the way I do   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
