Lyrics for Jacky's Only Happy When She's Up on the Stage

Jacky's only happy when she's up on the stage I make this claim, now let me explain Since she lost you Jacky's only happy when she's up on the stage Free in the truth of make-believe Since she lost you She is determined to prove How she can build up the page Of every lost and lonely day Jacky's only happy when she's up on the stage She'll make you believe what you'll never believe Since she lost you Jacky's only Jacky when she's up on the stage Living bodies that actually move Since she lost you She is determined to prove How she can fill up the page Of every lost and lonely day "Cue lights! I am singing to my lover at night! Scene Two: Everyone who comes must go! Scene Four: Blacker than ever before! Scene Six: This country is making me sick!" Jacky cracks when she isn't on the stage See the effects of sexual neglect No script, no crew, no auto-cue No audience telling her what to do! Exit, exit Everybody's heading for the exit, exit Everybody's running to the exit, exit Everybody's running to the exit, exit Everybody's heading for the exit, exit Everybody's running to the exit, exit Everybody's running to the exit, exit Everybody's running to the exit, exit Everybody's running to the exit, exit Everybody's heading for the exit, exit Everybody's heading for the exit, exit Everybody's heading for the exit, exit Exit, exit, exit, exit, exit, exit Exit, exit, exit, exit, exit
