Jackals |
| Jackals hide behind handsome faces |
| Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde, remind me, remind me |
| In a bedroom of a brick & stuck house |
| A girl in Seersucker pants reached for a book |
| To pass the day away |
| Not yet knowing the proper way to read |
| The girl took the tales as fact and cried all afternoon |
| After dinner and after her daily bath |
| Clean-skinned and dump-haired she lay down to bed |
| As the lights went out |
| Under an Amish quilt and inside her flannel pajamas |
| The girl wrestled with troubled thoughts |
| Troubled sleep, troubled dreams |
| The elevator opens on |
| A while frost-bitten world |
| I step out and the doors slide closed |
| Leaving me alone |
| With the only one who could hurt me |
| Jackals hide behind handsome faces |
| Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde, remind me, remind me |
| Old Giapetto sold all his winter clothes |
| To buy books for his wooden son |
| Who lied, lied through his nose |
| And when the circus wagon came rollin' through the town |
| The boy jumped aboard and left |
| Not even a note |
| In desperation over this disappearance |
| The old man with arthritic hands tore down his house |
| Plank by plank |
| And carried each one by one, down to the harbour |
| Trading his shoes for some nails and a hammer to build |
| To build himself a boat |
| The waters are wide |
| But I will find my child |
| I’ll set out into the sun |
| Until I met my end |
| In the belly of a whale |
| Jackals hide behind handsome faces |
| Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde, remind me, remind me |
| Nineteen eithy two, Mercedes Blues and the rumbling sputter |
| Of a diesel engine and the gooseflesh returns |
| Isn’t it a pity, isn’t it a shame |
| We can’t see ourselves inside this moving sedans |
| The windshield’s too busy to reflect |
| The outside looks lovely and oh so tempting |
| The light on the smokestacks and water towers beckons me |
| Beckons to me |
| So hello, my newfound friend Disaster |
| Come sit down at our round-table |
| Let us ask your advices |
| Should we bring on the accident? |
| Drive on my friends |
| There’s love beyond this bend |
| Sky’s falling doctor’s calling |
| But still it’s worth the wait |
| Time’s passed |
| Time is passing |
| And time will pass |
| Jackals hide behind handsome faces |
| Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde, remind me, remind me |
