the room (uk) - jackpot jack lyrics
the camera lies
but it’s important that you force a smile
even though you feel your face might crack
it makes you angry when they slap your back
you hit the jackpot, jack
now all your victories
feel just like defeat
there’s a moment
just before you won
when you felt that tingle
adrenaline
was it the will to power
you would do anything
you pull the lever back
you hit the jackpot, jack
and all the radios
are blaring new pop cap
smiling serene
inside you scream
d+mn these nights
sleep evade your tired mind
the lights go on in luxury
apartment flat
makes you angry
when they don’t call back
you hit the jackpot, jack
no one to talk back
they just slap your back
do you remember
that hopelessly happy song
strolling along arm in arm with some chick
girls cry
see it’s the war
it made no sense at all
it’s summer
you feel so alive
the (?) lie
coke cans glint
cars hiss by
in the arcade the machine
you put your money in
you pull the lever back
and the wheels spin fast
oranges, cherries, and those little gold bars
old man throwing those dirty yellow stars
you hit the jackpot, jack
with your new pop cap
and all the radios are just spewing it back
you hit the jackpot, jack (smiling)
jack
jack
jack
jack
jack
jack
jack (serene)
jack
jack
jack
jack
jack
jack
jack
jack
smiling serene
inside you scream
smiling serene
inside you scream
jackpot jack
with new pop cap
you hit the jackpot, jack
they slap your back
jackpot jack
you are a jack, jack
you pull the lever back
you hit the jackpot, jack
in the ruins of some car crash
underneath some lonely underpass
the radio holds you a captive audience
to your own song
blood trickles out of your ears and your nose
and you hear your youthful voice
singing some hopelessly happy song
singing something about life’s good
yours won’t last for long
not with the steering column through your chest, anyway
you hit the jackpot, jack
with your new pop cap
you hit the jackpot, jack
with your new pop cap
what’s that poking out your back
t++th are gone
jackpot, jack woo
jackpot, jack
jackpot jack
join in on the chorus
try to sing along now
clawing the dashboard
try to sing along now
