Jack's Super 8

from Jack's Super 8 (2017 album) by Paul Sprawl

lyrics

Cutting through the dark
It's a beam of light
Casting moving pictures on the wall
In the night

~chorus~
Jack hears the clickety-clack
'cause he's sitting in the back
By the projector
Watching Super 8
movies that he made

He bought a little store in this town of ten thou
But there's not much demand for
Super 8 projectors and cameras now
So he sells them through the Net all over the Earth
And he doesn't care what Alpine, TX thinks they're worth

~chorus~
Jack hears the clickety-clack
'cause he's sitting in the back
By the projector
Watching Super 8
movies that he made

On the weekends he shows his movies there in the store
Not many come by, they don't know what they're good for
He's got the self-service coffee, thrift store couches
and the folding chairs
But there's never more than a handful of people there

~chorus~
Jack hears the clickety-clack
'cause he's sitting in the back
By the projector
Watching Super 8
movies that he made

It's not the latest thing. It's not popular at all
It's not a slick Hollywood show. It's not a shopping mall
But those capitalist jerks can't keep
Jack from his work or his sleep

~chorus~
Jack hears the clickety-clack
'cause he's sitting in the back
By the projector
Watching Super 8
movies that he made
