[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] She is determined to prove How she can build up the pain Of every lost and lonely day [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] She is determined to prove How she can fill up the page Of every lost and lonely day [Verse 3] "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 you sick!" [Interlude] [Verse 4] 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! [Outro] 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

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque le parcours de Jacky, une femme qui trouve son bonheur uniquement sur scène. Depuis qu'elle a perdu une personne importante, elle se consacre à la performance pour échapper à sa douleur et créer un monde de réalité alternative. Sur scène, elle peut exprimer ses émotions, mais en dehors de ce cadre, elle semble perdue et vulnérable, souffrant de négligence et d'absence de reconnaissance. Le contexte peut être perçu comme une réflexion sur la quête de validation et le besoin d'évasion que ressentent certaines personnes face à des épreuves personnelles. Jacky représente cette lutte entre le besoin d'être vue et l'angoisse de l'isolement.
