Overview

"Jacked Up" was co-written by Rivers Cuomo with English songwriters Hugh Pescod and Jonny Coffer. The song was played live on the White Album Tour with Panic! at The Disco. The bridge melody was repurposed from the chorus of a Cuomo demo titled "Since You Came Around", which leaked online in November of 2020 and was later released as part of the digital compilation Alone XII: The White Year.

A remix of the song, featuring Michael "Fitz" Fitzpatrick of Fitz and the Tantrums and Nadya of Pussy Riot, was included as the twelfth track on the deluxe version of The White Album, released on October 7, 2016.

Lyrics

Album version If I stay the night Will I fall in love? If I stroke your hair It's gonna hurt so much Stranded in the Kalahari Will you share your flask? If I stay the night Will I fall in love? I'm all jacked up Over you I'll bury diamonds Just for you But why, why, why Do my flowers always die? Why do they die? I'm all jacked up Over you You see me standing there Without a shred of clothes And if you break away From the vein of gold Come my beautiful alien Touch me with your light But if you stay the night Will I fall in love? I'm all jacked up Over you I'll bury diamonds Just for you But why, why, why Do my flowers always die? Why do they die? I'm all jacked up Over you You're the sun that I'm orbiting I burn in your heat Supernova and cosmic dust You spawn galaxies We'll sleep together, sleep together, sleep forever We'll sleep together, sleep forever minus one Say those forbidden words to me Eagle girl I'm all jacked up Over you I'll bury diamonds Just for you But why, why, why do my flowers always die? Why do they die? I'm all jacked up Over you

Remix [RIVERS:] If I stay the night Will I fall in love? If I stroke your hair It's gonna hurt so much Stranded in the Kalahari Will you share your flask? If I stay the night Will I fall in love? You're the sun that I'm orbiting I burn in your heat Say those forbidden words to me Eagle girl I'm all jacked up Over you I'll bury diamonds Just for you But why, why, why Do my flowers always die? Why do they die? I'm all jacked up Over you [NADYA:] If I lose my mind, can you lend me yours? If I have no clothes, can I take yours? If I go blind can I use your eyes? I'm all jacked up, let me leave your life. Don't check or measure me, hear me. Don't judge or destroy me, feel me. I'm trash, your treasure, your homie, your enemy, Yes, I'm an alien, just leave me. [FITZ:] Strike a match Cut the lever Burn too fast And the sun will crash And the sun will crash If you and I can figure out a way To cross the wire, short circuit the day I'll be cracked and hacked and smacked and jerked But I don't want these things for me
