Master Jack

It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack
You taught me all I know, and I'll never look back
It's a very strange world, and I thank you, Master Jack

You took a colored ribbon from out of the sky
You taught me how to use it as the years went by
To tie up all my problems and make them look neat
And then to sell them to the people on the street

It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack
You taught me all I know, and I'll never look back
It's a very strange world, and I thank you, Master Jack

I saw right through the way you started teaching me now
So someday soon you could get used to me somehow
I thank you very much, I know you've been very kind
But I'd better move along before you change my mind

It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack
You taught me all I know, and I'll never look back
It's a very strange world, and I thank you, Master Jack

You taught me all the things the way you'd like them to be
But I like to see if other people agree
It's all very interesting, the way you disguise
But I like to see the world through my own eyes

It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack
You taught me all I know, and I'll never look back
You're a very strange man, and I thank you, Master Jack

You're a very strange man, and I thank you, Master Jack
You're a very strange man, and I thank you, Master Jack
