Jack the Re​-​animator Lyrics by Jessica Law

The Littlest Libertine

2013

So don't heed the lies they may tell of me
They're fools! My name is Jack
I can guarantee that I'm no quack
I'll bring you back
From death's eternity

When I can't sleep, I get out of bed
And stalk through London's streets, looking for the dead
I will revive the un-alive
Through secret surgery

I do it because I can
I don't really have a plan of who to choose

One man was rich
When he died he left his sons a fortune each
When they found out he would need it back
They turned their backs
And would not speak his name

One girl was mine, she was beautiful
She died before her time
When I brought her to, she'd seen it all and could recall
Now she's not quite the same

I did it because I could
I don't care if it's bad or good, it's what I do

And I remember the time I revived the hanged man
And he made more cadavers just for me
And the woman who tried to take the easy way out
Well, I wouldn't let her leave here so easily

And my love keeps crying, but I won't send her back
No, I won't revoke my powers so lightly
And there's nothing you can do, what laws
Could you possibly prove against me?

"And then it hits you. Consciousness blooms like an explosion behind your eyes. Needles of pain pierce your skin as hot blood flows into your frozen veins
They speak of growing pains, but magnify them ten thousand-fold, as half decayed tissue puts forward new growth faster than thought. Swelling to fill the cavities of the rib cage and eye sockets
You try to move, but for the moment your body is not your own. Your muscles convulsing, according to some secret whim. Refusing to obey your mind's instruction
And you... float? Maybe for seconds. Maybe for a lifetime. Then, all of a sudden, everything is tangible."

So don't heed the lies they may tell of me
They're fools! My name is Jack
I can guarantee that I'm no quack
I'll bring you back
From death's eternity
