With roots running so deeply
There's nothing you can say
To unfurl your flower
Without giving it away
Is this lightning in a mason jar?
Or a horror in the abstract?
Keep focused on the task at hand
But mindful of the master plan
Oh, Jaclyn, what have you seen?
Where have you been?
What does it mean?
With teeth biting discreetly
Oiled gears and clenching jaws
To abuse your power
It's just a minor flaw
Is there music in the hills out there?
Or a lullaby to laugh at?
Take a mirror, justify your plan
Write a poem along your flagstaff
Oh, Jaclyn, where have you gone?
Did you sing a song?
Does that make it wrong?
Is there doubt amongst the guilty
When the sun sets red as blood?
A cool spring shower
Or a monumental flood?
Is there vindication waiting there?
Or a flower bed to nap in?
Does it even matter in the end
When we look back at what happened?
Oh, Jaclyn, who have you met?
Oh, don't you fret
For you've won the bet
Oh, Jaclyn
Oh, Jaclyn
Oh, Jaclyn
Oh, Jaclyn

Take convention, dash it upon the ground
Scratch your name on the wall with one of the shards
Temper yourself, the fury and the sound
Make a name for yourself, it isn't that hard
Guinea pigs make great pets or test subjects
If you're not into that whole emotional thing
Rattlesnakes make great pests but don't you fret
There's no use crying over a broken guitar string
Shoot a rocket up so high
Maybe you weren't playing nice
But still you put a new star in the sky
That ain't so bad
Paranoia makes you Duck And take Cover
From the simplest acts of lamb-soft affection
Don't hurry yourself to make ghosts of your lovers
And mountains out of so many gopher hills
Shoot an apple off my head
Maybe you didn't get what you'd expect
But still you lived up to what you said
That ain't so bad
That ain't so bad
