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
See. they'll stay here for a while and then they'll fly away
Jackyl had a beer in his hand last time I seen him
But 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
But when he rolled the dice, you know he never thought twice,
Never thought twice about being here
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
Yeah, he was one of the one's that was already saved
Through all the evil and wreckage, yeah
He maintained a sense of himself, yeah
Jackyl had a beer in his hand last time I seen him
But 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
But 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 streets at night
Other men who got the lockdown are free as a bird in flight
How 'bout the hour in the system that has ended
In a one-way line out measures could not stand it
Jackyl had a beer in his hand last time I seen him
But when he rolled the dice, you know he never thought twice,
Never thought twice about being here
Taken from AlbumSongAndLyrics.comJackyl had a beer in his hand last time I seen him
But when he rolled the dice, you know he never thought twice,
Never thought twice about being here
