  • 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 pain
    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 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 Writer/s: Martin Boorer, Steven Morrissey
