Jackie Wants A Black Eye

Jackie wants a black eye

Some proof that she's been hit

And John wants the answers

But the questions just don't quit

And we're sitting in the rain

And we're feeling like the weather.

You could say that we're alone

But we're lonely together

We're all in it together now

As we all fall apart

And we're swapping little pieces

Of our broken little hearts.

Jackie is jumping in the quicksand

But it isn't what you think.

She's safe because she knows

The more you fight, the more you sink

And John is following the black cloud

To keep him from the sun.

So he bends over now

Something has finally begun.

And we're all in it together now

As we all fall apart

And we're swapping little pieces

Of our broken little hearts.

And we've been hurting so long

That our pleasure is our pain.

Are we madly in love

Or are we madly insane?

When yesterday's love defines you

And today that love is gone

Tomorrow keeps you guessing

The roller coaster is rolling on.

And we're all in it together now

As we all fall apart

And we're swapping little pieces

Of our broken little hearts.

And we're all in it together now

As we all fall apart

And we're swapping little pieces

Of our broken little hearts.
