Jumping Jack Flash
Born in Chaos, Crowned in Triumph: Jumpin' Jack Flash Revels
Lyrics
I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
I entered this world in the midst of a chaotic and intense situation
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain,
I expressed my distress to my mother amid harsh weather conditions
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
Despite past troubles, everything is fine now, even enjoyable
But it's all right. I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,
I'm the resilient and enduring Jumpin' Jack Flash
It's a gas! Gas! Gas!
Reaffirmation that things are energetic and exciting
I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag,
I was brought up by an unconventional, perhaps unsightly figure
I was schooled with a strap right across my back,
I received education through strict, physically punishing means
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
Despite the upbringing, everything is now alright and enjoyable
But it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,
Reassertion of resilience as Jumpin' Jack Flash
It's a gas! Gas! Gas!
Emphasizing the vibrant and exciting nature of the situation
I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead.
I experienced a metaphorical drowning and abandonment
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled.
I found myself wounded and in a vulnerable state
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread.
Reflecting on a meager existence, focusing on small sustenance
Yeah, yeah, yeah
An exclamation of affirmation
I was crowned with a spike right thru my head.
Describing an ordeal where I faced extreme suffering
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
Despite the ordeal, everything is now alright and enjoyable
But it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,
Reiteration of resilience as Jumpin' Jack Flash
It's a gas! Gas! Gas!
Reaffirmation of the energetic and exciting nature of things
Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
Repeating the declaration of being Jumpin' Jack Flash and emphasizing the exhilarating nature of the situation
Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
-Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
-Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
-Jumping Jack Flash
