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?
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
