Trigger Happy Jack (Drive by a Go-Go) Lyrics
It makes him so angry
At me.
And his head spins around
Just like the Exorcist and I
Find it ever so
Hard to resist his cries.
But there's nothing more sadistic than an infant
Waving his pistol in my face.
He wants me right down on my knees
Crumbling in disgrace.
But he underestimates my mind.
I know he's messing with my head.
My only weakness is
I can't believe the guy could be entirely dead.
Can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being!
But i'm gonna get off before you go.
My trigger happy jack is just a drive by
A go-go, go-go.
And he looks at me like a prince.
But i know i better bit the bullet
Cause it's jsut another one of his Jedi mind tricks.
But this ain't no head trip honey.
This is a collision on the road.
And you've got me feeling oh just like a road kill.
But you know deep down I know
Can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being!
But i'm gonna get off before you go.
My trigger happy jack is just a drive by
A go-go.
Why do you gotta be such a dick?
Why do you make me feel like this?
Why do you gotta be such a dick?
I'm feeling sick.
go-go.
Just enough to want him.
But i hate him just enough to get off.
But i understand him.
Maybe i'm just crazy enough
To love him.
Why not?
It's crazy that so many people, myself amongst them, have a personal connection with this song. It's something that Poe is covertly good at.
I don't feel like this is about abuse, to me it always seemed as if she wasn't even in an intimate relationship with this man. I think we all love "Can't talk to a pyscho like a normal human being." She seems to be unwillingly in love with him, and despite all she deals with with him, she enjoys it nonetheless.
I think everyone has their own opinion, but from my point of view...
Shes in a relationship with a guy who she cares for, but gets angry with his personality issues. The sexual inuendos I understand, its a mutual attraction that shes staying around for.
She understands hes just messing with her mind and using her, but shes also using him as well. they both have some sort of issues, his being his personality issues, her being patience and a little understanding.
I can see this song from both point of views, seeing on how i am bipolar and know many bipolar people and know how hard it is to understand sometimes. and as for the sexual problems, ive been in relationships where its for sexual attraction, but eventually emotional connections are made, then crummbled.......
so thats my view, have fun disecting it!
awesome song. she's got a great voice
This song reminds me of my xbf from highschool 5 years ago. scary, huh?
Awesome song. I always thought this song was about dating a really unstable guy, and enjoying it/hating it at the same time.
I think it is clear to see (for some, anyway, quite like myself) at a point in your life, you get feeling low enough about yourself where you feel like you deserve nothing but the worst... I got kicked out for mine....
I agree with Rie-mix.
I agree with both Rie-mix and AngelofBradley1. This song also reminds me of my late husband, along with the song "Angry Johnny". But the line "you can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being" really gets to me on a more personal level. I relate to it because I have several personality disorders, and I feel like people need to realise they can't talk to me like I was someone without these disorders. I really like this song and that last line as well.
reminds me of Ophelia and Hamlet
This song reminds me of my step dad. He is the kind of person if you don’t put something away he blows up. He is also a control freak. I don’t know if it is right or not. That is just my opinion. My mom is currently thinking about divorce. The last line really gets to me because you can’t talk to him when he is acting like a “psycho”.
