He was an artist and a writer |
|
And a poet and a friend |
|
In a man's life he will take a fall |
|
But how low he goes it just depends |
|
He's shooting dope in the men's room |
|
At the station daly city train |
|
Have you ever seen an angel well I know I have |
|
They'll stay here for a while and then they'll fly away |
|
[Chorus: x2] |
|
Jackyl had a beer in his hand last time I seen him |
|
When he rolled the dice he never thought twice |
|
Never thought twice about being him |
|
Some grown up and some grow old |
|
But what about the kid who never learned the rules |
|
Spent all these years on this earth |
|
When you look back it's just a flicker of time |
|
Jackyl was one of the one's that perished |
|
He was one of the one's that was already saved |
|
Through all the evil and wreckage |
|
He maintained a sense of himself |
|
[Chorus x2] |
|
Some men are in prison even though they walk the streets at night |
|
Other men who got the lockdown are free as a bird in flight |
