Daly City Train

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

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 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
He was one of the one's that was already saved
Through all this evil and wreckage,yeah
He maintained a sense of himself

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 streets at night
Other men who got the lockdown are free as a bird in flight

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
