| JACK: |
| Businessmen deeply awake |
| Sleeping like spinning tops |
| Corner the smalltown mastoid market |
| Their uvulas hopping mad |
| Beneath boney earache profits |
| Punished by being kept alive |
| Sure of the past at last |
| Always a little sorry |
| About reality |
| JACK I (an issue forever): |
| Worshipping whatever they find |
| At their feet |
| Jack ii: |
| Suspicion bursting innocently |
| I & II: |
| Upon the guilty |
| 'Jack's traveling band' |
| Are they looking for something |
| They can’t find |
| Or are they looking for something |
| They haven’t got? |
| 'Phantom music' |
| Impatience’s high patience |
| Politics nothing to look at |
| When someone is talking to you |
| Jack i: |
| Drifting into hypnosis — |
| Jack ii: |
| Outstaring the therapist to outstare — |
| — Eyelids cataleptic — |
| II: |
| — The therapist or so it would seem — |
| — Widely open and fixed — |
| II: |
| — Bodies so tired they can’t come clean — |
| — Raging pale with endurance — |
| II: |
| — All insurance a murder plot — |
| — All the way to the hill |
| II: |
| — A goat not something easily got |
| I & II: |
| The sun deeper and deeper in debt |
| Exposing their rancidly calm minds |
| To moonlight |
