Jackie-O - Strung Out

A warm dallas breeze floats naked through the air

As a million hungry faces watch the king

And his parade on show for the world to see

Prime time america nineteen sixty three

And you were by his side

I still remember pictures, that look on your face

The king had been forsaken and his country died

In three seconds that would last an eternity

O jackie-o

I wonder what you could be thinking

Now your mixed up little head has been left alone

In a world so cold

Just a foot note in history book full of lies

You’re such a good girl

Keep smiling make 'em happy

All is well in the land of make believe

As soon as the bullet left the chamber

On that calm november day

You knew the world would never be the same

The killer in us all

Just victims of ourselves looking for the perfect death

Trigger happy patriots running from ourselves

You knew it would never be the same again

O jackie-o i wonder what you’re thinking

Now you’ve been left here all on your own

In this land a world of make believe

You get back what was taken from you and go moving on

O jackie-o

I wonder what you could be thinking

Now your mixed up little head has been left alone

In a world so cold

Just a foot note in history book full of lies
