John Joseph "Jack" Nicholson (born April 22, 1937) is an American actor, film director, producer and writer. He is renowned for his often dark portrayals of neurotic characters. His twelve Oscar nominations make him the second most nominated actor of all time, behind only Meryl Streep, and tied with Katharine Hepburn.
Nicholson has been nominated for an Academy Award twelve times and has won the Academy Award for Best Actor twice: for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and for As Good as It Gets. He also won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for the 1983 film Terms of Endearment. He is tied with Walter Brennan for most acting wins by a male actor (three). Nicholson is well known for playing villainous roles such as Jack Torrance in The Shining, Frank Costello in The Departed, and the Joker in 1989's Batman, among many other roles.

Notable films in which he has starred include Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces, Chinatown, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Passenger, The Shining, Reds, Terms of Endearment, Batman, A Few Good Men, As Good as It Gets, About Schmidt, The Departed and Anger Management .
Must have been a thousand thoughts
Went through my head
As I walked through your door
Must have been a thousand roses
But now, it's come down to this
A kiss of a snake in the woods by the lake
It haunts me
Calm down, calm down, calm down
Grab the knife
Calm down, calm down, calm down
Slit her throat
Calm down, calm down, calm down
Watch her bleed
Calm down, calm down, calm down
My head hurts
Must have been a hundred ways
To escape the pain that I felt from this
Must have been a thousand ways
To escape the pain that I felt from this
A kiss of a snake in the woods by the lake
It haunts me
Calm down, calm down, calm down
Grab the knife
Calm down, calm down, calm down
Slit her throat
Calm down, calm down, calm down
Watch her bleed
Calm down, calm down, calm down
My head hurts
Calm down, calm down, calm down
Hold the knife
Calm down, calm down, calm down
Put it forward
Calm down, calm down, calm down
Watch you bleed
