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 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 nots
- And when I let him in I feel the stitches getting sicker
- You 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
