Wack Jack

Lyrics by：Hamilton Leithauser

Composed by：Hamilton Leithauser

Kids are scratching up the walk

Across the street and down the block

I wish you'd stuck around to watch

The night fall

Smack your hands against the wall

Louise Bogan and Robert Frost

Popped off the shelf when

You went through the door singing

Years from today

When your name is just a name

And my love is a couple candles

Twinkling on your cake

That burn won't hurt you anymore no

But I'll still keep your picture

Lying in a drawer

Kids are scratching up the walk

Four letter words in rainbow

Colored chalk

Sweeping dust under the rug

Oh if only we could talk

Years away

When your name is just a name

You'll be counting up your pennies

'Til I'm laughing in my grave

Oh I know years away

Years away

When your name is just a name

When your name is just a name

And my love's a couple candles

Twinkling on your cake

That burn won't hurt you anymore oh

But I'll still keep your picture

Lying in a drawer

When I was a boy I could laugh

At it laugh at it

Now I wonder how I got

That hold on me hold on me

When I was a boy I could laugh at it

Laugh at it

When I was a boy I could laugh at it

Laugh at it
