Jack of Dried Clay
James Parm
GENRE Tell me creature in the night
Is the child made of clay?
Does he whisper out of sight
In the coming new age?
All who hear him are destroyed
All connections torn away
Coded signals in the dark
Making Jack of Dried Clay
As he wipes away the dust
As he sinks into decay
As an engine made to rust
Takes the final man away
Well alright, alright, alright
You’ve noticed, by now
You’ve noticed we’re just going around and around
You’ve noticed, we’re just going around and around
You’ve noticed
Tell me what I oughta say
Spitting diamonds in the dirt
Carefully disposing of
Every creature formed of hurt
When she calls is it a ghost
With a heart like a gun
Tied backwards to the earth
Spinning deathly round the sun?
Make the most of what you are
Just before your final spark
Just beyond your final thought
Silent whispers in the dark
Well alright, alright, alright
You’ve noticed, by now
You’ve noticed we’re just going around and around
You’ve noticed, we’re just going around and around
You’ve noticed, yeah
Tell me is this what you say
That the earth has shot it’s lungs
If destruction is your name
And the final chord is strung
If the final war is won
If we’ve reached our final day
If the child in your heart
Turns to Jack of Dried Clay
Well alright, alright, alright
You’ve noticed, by now
You’ve noticed we’re just going around and around
You’ve noticed, we’re just going around and around
You’ve noticed, we're just going around
Is the child made of clay?
Does he whisper out of sight
In the coming new age?
All who hear him are destroyed
All connections torn away
Coded signals in the dark
Making Jack of Dried Clay
As he wipes away the dust
As he sinks into decay
As an engine made to rust
Takes the final man away
Well alright, alright, alright
You’ve noticed, by now
You’ve noticed we’re just going around and around
You’ve noticed, we’re just going around and around
You’ve noticed
Tell me what I oughta say
Spitting diamonds in the dirt
Carefully disposing of
Every creature formed of hurt
When she calls is it a ghost
With a heart like a gun
Tied backwards to the earth
Spinning deathly round the sun?
Make the most of what you are
Just before your final spark
Just beyond your final thought
Silent whispers in the dark
Well alright, alright, alright
You’ve noticed, by now
You’ve noticed we’re just going around and around
You’ve noticed, we’re just going around and around
You’ve noticed, yeah
Tell me is this what you say
That the earth has shot it’s lungs
If destruction is your name
And the final chord is strung
If the final war is won
If we’ve reached our final day
If the child in your heart
Turns to Jack of Dried Clay
Well alright, alright, alright
You’ve noticed, by now
You’ve noticed we’re just going around and around
You’ve noticed, we’re just going around and around
You’ve noticed, we're just going around
