Introductions Are In Order

from Locomotion by The Jack of Spades

lyrics

I have ten fingers, they are all named Jack
and they are magic finger yes they are, can you imagine that?
I have me a hat, oh, I wear upon my head
and it is Jack the magic cap do you believe the words that I have said?
I got me a guitar, oh, it's as pretty as can be
but I didn't name it, no, it was Jack when it was given to me

Chorus:
I am Jack the mad page of the kingdom of spades
and I wander where'er I wilt, no matter how far
and my only purpose on this plane is to remind you all of what you are
IA!
children of the stars

And I am but an aspect, yes, I'm a branch upon a tree
Just like my ten magic fingers they are fractals of my magic me
and I weave my dreams and I walk my weave
til I bring the things I've seen down before my feet
And hell, well, I don't know where this path will take me
But I'll get to the river eventually

Chorus

oh I come from a place where we call a spade a sword
where we call a page a lord of the air
but my wheels keep spinning round, my feet they never touch the ground
and I, I get nowhere

Chorus
