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 yeah
He’s shooting dope in the men’s room
At the station Daly City train
Have you ever seen an anger
Well I know I have
They’ll stay here for a while
Then they fly away
Jackyl had a beer in his hand last time I seen him
When he rolled the dice you know he never thought twice
Never thought twice about being here
Jackyl had a beer in his hand last time I seen him
When he rolled the dice you know he never thought twice
Never thought twice about being here
Some grow 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 in time
Jackyl was one of the ones that perished
He was one of the ones that was already saved
Through all this evil and wreckage
He maintained a sense of himself yeah
Jackyl had a beer in his hand last time I seen him
When he rolled the dice you know he never thought twice
Never thought twice about being here
Jackyl had a beer in his hand last time I seen him
When he rolled the dice you know he never thought twice
Never thought twice about being here
Some men are in prison
Even though they walk the street at night
Other men who got the lockdown
Are free as a bird in flight
Power for the hour
And a sister to any
I don’t want way line
I mess it’s could not sandy
Jackyl had a beer in his hand last time I seen him
When he rolled the dice you know he never thought twice
Never thought twice about being here
Jackyl had a beer in his hand last time I seen him
When he rolled the dice you know he never thought twice
Never thought twice about being here
