Hello, hello Are you out there? M.O.D. are you out there? I can't see your face But you left a trace on a data back-road That I almost erased Not even God takes this long to get back So get back 'Cause I hit a fork in the road I lost my way home I'm cut off from out main line Like a disconnected modem Hello Tap in the code I'll reach you below No one should brave the underworld alone Hello, hello, hello How do I reach you? Word has it on the wire That you don't who you are Well if you could jack into my brain You'd know exactly what you mean here Mothers are trails on stars in the night Fathers are black holes that suck up the light That's the memory I filed on the fringe Along with the memory of the pain you lived in Hello I don't have the password But the path is chainlinked So if you've got the time Set up the tone to sync Tap in the code I'll reach you below Hello, hello Are you out there? Trigger happy Jack He scares easily It makes him so angry At me And his head it spins around Just like the Exorcist and I Find it ever so Hard to resist his cries But there's nothing more sadistic than an infant Waving his pistol in my face He wants me right down on my knees Crumbling in disgrace But he underestimates my mind I know he's messing with my head My only weakness is I can't believe the guy could be entirely dead Can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being Can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being Trigger Happy Jack You're gonna blow But I'm gonna get off before you go My Trigger Happy Jack is just a drive by a go-go And after awhile he calms down And he looks at me like a prince But I know I better bite the bullet 'Cause it's just another one of his Jedi mind tricks But this ain't no headtrip honey This is a collision on the road And you've got me feeling oh just like a roadkill and you know deep down I know Can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being Can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being Trigger Happy Jack You're gonna blow But I'm gonna get off before you go My Trigger Happy Jack is just a drive by a go-go Why do you make me feel like this? (1-2-3-4) Why do you gotta be such a dick? (1-2-3-4) Why do you make me feeling like this? (1-2-3-4) Why do you gotta be such a dick? (1-2-3-4) Go-go And I hate myself Just enough to want him But I hate him just enough to get off But I understand him Maybe I'm just crazy enough To love him Why not? (why not?) You can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being
