lyrics

I am a hung man
I fear death by water

It's a fast city
and don't jack look grand
with his raincoat full of smokes
a crucifix in his hand

I sing for my supper
oh I lick for my love
my dance card is always full
I'm made of that deep macho stuff

Its a fast city
and don't jack look pretty
in his coat made of mirrors
and his fast round with pity

I am a great hero
and you're all villains and swine
I got a house full of fat angels
and Judas on the other line

I've got my union card
I'm Rip Van Winkles son
I speak in seasons and circles
oh I speak until I'm done

I am a hung man
I fear death by water

woah, galactic jack
slip off them lonesome boots and tip your old hat
you aint got no rough or rowdy ways
you got some pressed flowers in some dog-eared days
woah, galactic jack
oh my fat jack (fast, fast city)

its a fast city
and don't jack look great
in a hat made of flowers
and his face red with debate

I am Paul Bunyan
and I'm squinting at the flannel sky
I'm the velvet prize in your eyes

Its a fast city
when you're young and full of heart
I am Victor Hugo
tiger-eyed in the reflective dark

I am a great hero
and you're all just villains and swine
I like a certain kind of party
and this one just aint mine

where are the dancing girls
where are the aperitifs
the grenadine the calamine lotion
the rocks the olives in the drinks

and I'm a hung man
I fear death by water

woah, galactic jack
slip off them western boots and tip your old hat
you aint got no rough or rowdy ways
you got some dog-eared days
woah, fat jack cut me some slack (fast, fast city)
