Looking for Jack

Everybody's always looking for Jack
In the fire and in yhe water
Everybody's always looking for Jack
In the streets and on the corners
I always wanted to be like Jack
He's a cool as they come
Yeah I always wanted to be like Jack
Still for me, he's the one
Someday...Someday...
Someday...Someday...
Hear the wind blow throught the long grass
I hear laughter in the night
No revelations as the years pass
They disappear from sight
As I grow older I grow younger
Every day is like a dream
I wouldn't go back for a moment
Exept for maybe seventeen
Someday...Someday...
Someday...Someday...
Everybody's always looking for Jack
In the fire and in yhe water
Everybody's always looking for Jack
In the streets and on the corners
Even Jack is alwayslooking for Jack
He's always in another room
And when I spoke to the woman there
She said he left this afternoon
Someday...Someday...
