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
Oh 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
Oh 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
Oh Jackie-o, I know what your thinkin That your all alone in your mixed world Such a good little girl a fairytale Wishin on a star that will never shine
